Vendula HnídkováNárodní styl. Kultura a politikaThe National Style entered the scene with the end of the World War I,
when the intensive feeling of historical victory conditioned and
fortified new contents of a part of Czech art, architecture and craft. The ambition to build a Czech national culture on the state platform was motivated by the attempt to give the Czech Republic a primarily slavic character. The main protagonists of the National Style Pavel Janák, Josef Gočár and František Kysela tried to create specific expressive elements, inspired by the nature of the locals.
