Zdeněk Hojda – Roman Prahl (eds.)
Associations to promote art and artists associations are among the key institutions of art in the 19th century and the development of their relations or even quarrels between them are an important part of the emancipation of modern art. The Prague "Union of Modern Artists" (1848-1856) is, in that respect, an integral Central European phenomenon, which provides insight into the context of developments in neighboring countries and capitals of art.
The publication reconstructs the history and 'prehistory' of the association based on printed documents and primarily on handwritten documents. The critical edition includes previously unreleased sources and an annotated list of those already published – for example those relating to Josef Mánes.
