CZECH CUBISM, 1909–1925 (the first English edition)

CZECH CUBISM, 1909–1925 is a luxuriously produced publication, with high-quality photographs in colour and black-and-white, and dozens of scholarly articles. It considers the development of this unusual Czech movement in painting, sculpture, the graphic arts, furniture, tableware, and architecture, as well as the main people involved.

A new edition of a painstakingly produced and exhaustive publication about the development of Czech Cubism, an early twentieth-century trend running through all the arts – painting, sculpture, graphic design, furniture and tableware, architecture, even music, film, and literature, and discussing the main people involved. Edited by Jiří Švestka, Tomáš Vlček, and Pavel Liška, the volume comprises more than 50 scholarly articles by recognized experts in the field: Jaroslav Anděl, Marie Bayerová, Ladislav Foltyn, Edward F. Fry, Raymond Guidot, Olga Herbenová, Jana Horneková, Paul Kruntorad, Miroslav Lamač, Milena Lamarová, Vojtěch Lahoda, Pavel Liška, Zdeněk Lukeš, Waltraud Neuwirth, Oldřich Pukl, Jan Raus, Vladimír Šlapeta, Peter Spielmann, Karel Srp, Rostislav Švácha, Jiří Švestka, Tomáš Vlček, Stephan von Wiese. It contains 750 plates in colour and black-and-white.
Originally published in Czech and German to accompany the Czech Cubism exhibition in Düsseldorf in 1991, it was soon sold out. In 2006, it was published again in superior quality, owing to advances in printing technology, and also in an English edition, translated by Robin Cassling, Adrian Dean, Kathleen Hayes, Janek Jaros, Branislava Kuburović, Anna Lordan, Derek Paton. David Short, Robert Russell, Gerald Turner, and Kathleen Vočadlo Hughes.
