Brno Jewish Architects after 1918

In the interwar period, about 20 Jewish architects worked in Brno. They mainly designed tenement houses, shopfronts, and interiors. The project focuses primarily on the development of creation of two architects who were successful in Brno, emigrated, and established themselves in their new homeland.

Tadeáš Kadlec, Charles University in Prague
Johann Peter Molitor (1702–1757) and the “Rococo” in Bohemia and Central Europe

Taking the German experience of the painter Johann Peter Molitor (1702–1757) and his later stay in Krakow as example, the project focuses on the mutual relationship of the then contemporary art
happenings in Bohemia and the wider Central European region. Through a methodological analysis of the various ways of how the term “Rococo“ comes to be defined and used, it aims to clarify the place of Molitor’s work in the broader narrative of the history of art in Bohemia.

Discussion chaired by:
Štěpán Vácha, Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences
