Prolegomena - Mgr. Ivo Binder
Graphic
art was created and used by many generations as one of the
manifestations of applied art. Its function was, with exceptions,
mostly decorative, illustrative and especially reproductive. With
time, growing demands for exactness and maximum objectivity of
depiction brought reproductive graphic art to the very limits of
its potential. It was only at the beginning of the 20th
century when, due to the expansion of photography and thanks to
the use of new reproduction technologies, graphic art was fully
rehabilitated as one autonomous manifestations of free art. Since
then, many artists have profiled themselves exclusively as
graphic artists. This development was encouraged by great
interests by collectors in fine prints and books and free graphic
art. The tendency, however, slowed down and apparently event came
to a halt in the 1970s and 80s. Just like painting, thought,
graphic art also got the second wind. Since the 1990s, artists
from a new generation have established themselves who chose
graphic art to be their major visual means of communication. In
reaction to this fact, several shows of graphic arts were founded
among which the Břeclav Biennale of Small Graphics, that was
held for the fourth time this year, has occupied a significant
position.
The growing reputation of Grafix is demonstrated by the
increasing interest of artists in participating. This year, 199
authors sent their works to Grafix, i.e. about one third more
than in the previous year. Growing participation of artists from
abroad is also encouraging (86 artists from 22 countries of 4
continents applied this year).
The expert jury, appointed by the director of the museum, chose
the authors who wil be awarded. The main prize of the Břeclav
Biennale, that was named after its founder Cyril Urban last year,
goes to graphic artist and painter Dalibor Smutný whose precise
and technically perfect mezzotints, have been recognized several
times at the Graphic of the Year show. Apart from the Cyril Urban
Prize, the Mayor of Břeclav prize was awarded to Japanese artist
Toshio Yosizumi, the Prize of the Director of the Municipal
Museum and Gallery Břeclav to Austria's graphic designer Helga
Cmelka and the Union of Visual Artists of the Czech Republic
Prize to Jolana Klimová. The Jury Prize was awarded to sixteen
other aristst by the expert jury.
Grapfix 2007 presents works of a wide spectrum of opinion.
Formally, too, most graphic techniques can be found at the
exhibition, often in perfect implementation. It is binding for
the organizers to maintain the quality of the show in the future.
The Biennale has become a significant part of the cultural life
of the region and at the same time is of great importance for
artistic graphics and its creators in the Czech Republic.
