Abstract
Czech literary history still lacks a critical perspective on the postwar interpretation of the avant-garde or of avant-garde movements and their specific plight, artistic fragmentation and political readings. Postwar Western's debates over avant-garde movements passed by the Czechoslovak sphere.
And if the official postwar version of the avant-garde was institutionally reduced and integrated under the heading of socialist realism, it is clear that although certain constructivist and futurist avant-garde projects might be included here, surrealism may not.
