Vystoupily ze stínu: Věra Machoninová

▪️ The first architect to get out of the shade in the lectures of the cycle is Věra Machoninová. Her individual work and work created in pairs with husband Vladimir are among the most original buildings of the second half of the 20th century in our territory. We will focus not only on their origin and form, but also the topic of their monument protection, which is currently extremely up -to -date. Historically, women became artists in the shadow of their male colleagues, in many countries they were forbidden to study at art academies and their artistic emancipation used to be thorny. Our cycle will again introduce you to a varied mix of portraits of Czech and Czechoslovak artists - painters, sculptors, illustrators, architects and dyzajnérk, in which we will deal with their arts, but also the context of the time and environment in which they lived and worked. The aim of the lecture cycle is not the first adoration of women artists, much rather repayment of a certain debt in the public awareness of their art work.
