* Under the auspices of its director Josef Polák, the East Slovakia Museum in Košice organised exhibitions of contemporary European graphic art, for which a series of posters was created by the featured artists. The key figure amongst these artists was [[Eugen Krón]], who came from Hungarian avant-garde circles. Another Slovak, Martin Benka, presented a different kind of production in Slovak graphic design, with works that were close to the international art deco design movement, but which mainly tried to emphasise the national character of production. As the first Slovak to do so, Benka applied himself intensively to the creation of fonts. [http://www.slovakia.culturalprofiles.net/?id=-13068]

Interwar avant-garde[edit]

School of Arts and Crafts, Bratislava (1928-1939)[edit]

School of Arts and Crafts [Škola umeleckých remesiel] (1928-1939) was founded on initiative of Josef Vydra in Bratislava with support from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry to provide evening courses in drawing and advertising. In 1930 it merged with Učňovské školy, and included departments for painting, fashion and textile design, metal, wood, ceramics, photography, graphic art, retail design, and film. It quickly became one of the most progressive educational institutions in the arts and crafts in Europe during the interwar period. Studies in specialized departments were preceded by preliminary elementary courses in drawing, surface and space composition, colour harmony, modeling and lettering. In reality, this already involved an application of the Bauhaus method. The school's intention was also to integrate folk craft traditions in modern production. The teachers included avant-garde artists Ľudovít Fulla, Mikuláš Galanda, Jaromír Funke or Zdeněk Rossmann, guest lectures were delivered by László Moholy-Nagy, Jan Tschichold, Kállai, Hannes Meyer and others. They drew their inspiration from Analytical Realism, Constructivism and the poetic fantasy of children's art - combining all these influences with a high level of craft skills and with folk art traditions. In mid-1930s the school was attended by 200 students and the teaching staff counted some twenty members. The students were of Slovak, Czech, German and Hungarian nationalities and they also came from Poland, Yugoslavia, Germany and Bulgaria. After the Czech professors were forced to leave Slovakia, Vydra persuaded Fulla to take up the direction of the School, hoping to preserve continuity of its orientation. However, the school operated only for another 10 months. On 1 October 1939, the School of Applied Arts was closed.

Exhibitions[edit]

  • Under the auspices of its director Josef Polák, the East Slovakia Museum in Košice organised exhibitions of contemporary European graphic art, for which a series of posters was created by the featured artists. The key figure amongst these artists was Eugen Krón, who came from Hungarian avant-garde circles. Another Slovak, Martin Benka, presented a different kind of production in Slovak graphic design, with works that were close to the international art deco design movement, but which mainly tried to emphasise the national character of production. As the first Slovak to do so, Benka applied himself intensively to the creation of fonts. [1]
