Vincent Gregor’s stone sculpting company in Uherský Brod

Based on the preserved archives sources as well as field research, the article maps the history of the stonemason’s workshop of Vincenc Gregor from Uherský Brod. He was, as a successor of the original workshop of František Zajíc, and, later Ludvík Petřík, provably active between the years 1921 and 1952, while, for a short period, he was succeeded by his son Karel. The contribution does not only describe the recognised author’s works, but also attempts to define the basic features of the author’s morphology; it also looks at the circumstances of erecting most of the described works in the countryside and, based on the period information, attempts to place the personality of Vincenc Gregor into the wider socio-cultural context.
