Milan Pech. -- Praha, 2011. -- 118 s. Anotace Diplomová práce „Street art – vandalismus nebo um ění?“ se zabývá celosv ětovým fenoménem sou časného um ění, nasti ňuje definici street artu a podrobn ě rozebírá jeho vztah ke graffiti. Práce dále mapuje historii street artu, jeho vznik a vývoj a poukazuje na odlišné formy a podoby, se kterými se u streetartových d ěl m ůžeme setkat. Pozornost je v ěnována také n ěkolika nejznám ějším sv ětovým p ředstavitel ům tohoto fenoménu a situaci street artu v České republice. Sledováním podobností s reklamou a souvislostmi s některými tendencemi um ění 20. století se práce pokouší zachytit složitou pozici street artu, který se nachází na rozhraní mezi vandalismem, komer čním sv ětem marketingu a sv ětem výtvarného um ění.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.
