Czech Modern Art | Prague Gallery

Although modern art is not precisely delineated by time, it is generally being linked with the first half of the 20th century; with the great story of universalism and trust in the endless progress of humanity. The Modern was a reaction to the old times, it introduced new experiments and painting methods into practice, and delimited itself against conservative approach to the arts. The Modern is characteristic of the arrival of numerous new tendencies and -isms – from Impressionism to Surrealism. Czech modern art probably reached its ultimate in the 1920s and 1930s when it was strongly influenced and inspired by the cultural events in France. Due to the post-war nationalization of private collections in Czech lands, works of art originating from the period of the modern movement in the arts have turned into rarities on the contemporary art market.
