L'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer une étude exhaustive de l’œuvre de l'artiste allemand contemporain Franz Erhard Walther (1939, Fulda - ), accompagnant l'élaboration du catalogue raisonné de l'ensemble de son travail. En effet, pour cet artiste à l’œuvre colossale, la nécessité de la réalisation d'un catalogue raisonné se pose depuis plusieurs années. Bien que son œuvre ait une place fondamentale dans l'histoire de l'art de la deuxième moitié du XXème siècle, le travail de Walther reste encore très mal connu et souvent sujet à confusion. Cette œuvre, caractérisée en grande partie par l'utilisation de la couture comme technique et du tissu comme matériau, et dont la monumentalité n'a été rendue possible que grâce à la collaboration de l'artiste avec sa première femme, Johanna Frieß, trouve sa spécificité à travers l'évolution du concept de Handlung, propre à l'artiste. Cette étude propose donc le premier véritable catalogue raisonné de Franz Erhard Walther, de ses premières œuvres en 1954 à ce jour, accompagné d'une étude précise de chaque groupe d’œuvres, replaçant ainsi l'ensemble dans le contexte de l'histoire de l'art. / The objective of this thesis is to propose an exhaustive study of the work of the german contemporary artist Franz Erhard Walther (1939, Fulda - ), as well as the catalogue raisonné of his work. There is indeed since many years an imperative need for such a comprehensive catalogue, given the colossal production of Walther. Although his work plays a prominent role in the Art History of the second half of the XXth century, it remains little-known and is still subject of some confusion. This body of work, mainly characterized by the use of sewing as technique and tissue as material, and whose enormity wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of the artist's first wife, Johanna Frieß, finds its specificity in the concept of Handlung that Walther developed. This study includes thus the first actual catalogue raisonné of Franz Erhard Walter, from his first-ever works of 1954 until now, as well as a specific study of every group of works, putting it in the context of Art History.

Pavla Šedinová: Minimal art and minimal music Abstract: This thesis focuses on the theoretical description of minimalism in the fine arts and music. It follows the progression of minimisation in art in the first half of the twentieth century, which culminates in minimal art and minimal music, and compares its principles with multiplication in the work of Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground. At the same time the paper discusses the difference between American minimalism and its European and Czech parallels. The aim of this thesis is describing main concepts of minimalism that could be relevant for teaching purposes. The pedagogical part of the thesis focuses on the manner in which the obtained information about the fine arts and music could be utilised in teaching, particularly in Elementary Art Schools. The practical part demonstrates my own approach to minimalist principles.
