ART CLASSES - MICHAL PĚCHOUČEK: AMATEUR ARTWORK THERAPY
Eva Maceková, Iva Davidová
Both authors work with fictional worlds (seemingly) untouched by humans, which serve as romanticized escapes from the chaotic reality of the present. Instead of the desired contemplation, the scenes of an untouched natural world evoke an almost disturbing feeling of permanence and death.

Throughout his life, Chalupecký promoted and defended new artistic trends and was interested in general questions of art, especially the meaning of art in modern society. He was a defender of art in connection with life. In today's terms, we could perhaps use the term activist or engaged art. He did not believe in the purely aesthetic function of art and culture in general.
