: . National Gallery - Veletržní Palác (Trade Fair Palace). In 1995 new spaces dedicated to 19th- and 20th-century art were opened in the refurbished Veletržní Palác (Trade Fair Palace), itself a national monument as Prague's largest functionalist building and one of the earliest examples of that architectural style in the city (construction began in 1925). The largest of the gallery sites is the Trade Fair Palace (Veletržní Palác), which houses the National Gallery's collection of modern art. . . #insularmodernities . #socialistcityandurbanism #socialistcity #socialistcity_prague #nationalmodernism #decolonisingmodernity #socialistarchitecture #socialistarchitecture_czechrepublic #modernismtour_czechrepublic #modernismtour #modernismtour_prague #czechmodernism #prague #czech #czechrepublic . ©stefanrusu .

Measuring more than 2.5 inches thick and just under 800 pgs long — w/ 318 color repros and a whopping 635 pages of scholarly texts — 'Karel Teige: Captain of the Avant-Garde’ — the new Teige monograph from noted Czech art book publisher @kantbooks — is truly extraordinary. "There is no need to explain who Karel Teige was," a Czech writer for Typografia magazine proclaimed in 1927. "I don't think that there was a single modern impulse in our country that he did not either directly inspire or at least support. Architecture, poetry, film, photography, painting, theater, typography—all these bear traces of his insightfulness and modernity." #karelteige #czechmodernism #avantgarde #collage #typography #czech

ABECEDA. Josef Lada. A rather battered copy of a favourite book, Josef Lada's 1953 alphabet book inspired by Czeck folk art. An important figure in illustration he's best known here for his illustrations for The Good Soldier Svejk, issued here by Penguin in the 1940s. #joseflada #abeceda #alphabet #mojeabeceda #penguinspecials #thegoodsoldiersvejk #czechmodernism #avantgarde
