The Attempted Post-War Reconstruction of the School of Arts between 1945 and 1949

This contribution looks at the history of the School of Arts between 1945 and 1949, when the school underwent transformation into the School of Applied Arts. In spite of a number of difficulties, the institution managed, mainly thanks to its Director, František Kadlec, to become consolidated soon after the war and establish a new character, which, to a certain extent, reflected the changes in design as well as cultural and political field. The School was so able to, already within the first two years after the war, present realistic and viable programme, which was also consistent with the state trends for industrial design. In spite of these efforts, however, from the spring 1949 its activities were dampened by the state enterprise Svit, which only left a torso from the school's complex programme.

Keywords: School of Arts, Zlín, history of educational system, education, post-war renovation
