Vplyv novej vecnosti na sociálno-kritické výtvarné umenie medzivojnového Slovenska

The text maps the areas of influence of the New Objectivity art to the Slovak fine art of the twenties and thirties of the 20th century. It is based on the knowledge that the most striking response to the Slovak art was left by drawing and graphic art of the Verist ("left") wing of the New Objectivity, particularly by George Grosz and Otto Dix. Georges Grosz's views were followed by communist-oriented intelligence and reproduced in left-wing cultural periodicals. The text proves that the sharp social criticism of the Groszian and Dixian types left traces in the painting and graphics of many Slovak modernists (Cyprián Majerník, Konstantin Bauer, Koloman Sokol and Štefan Bednár).
