Abstrakt
The course is specifically designed for foreign students coming to Prague to learn more about Czech art and its historical, political and social context. However, the aim of the course is not simply to summarize the most important facts, artists and artworks but rather to introduce the students to a selection of interesting moments in the Czech art history with the help of a range of interdisciplinary approaches and new methodological tools.
