Subject of my diploma work is contemporary politic and engage art within the Czech context. The course of study is concentrated on the change of political art since 1918 to this day. Central part and the root of the trouble is the term political art and its transformation during the last ten years, it means since 1998 to 2008. The work is divided into eight chapters, of which meant to describe the con-temporary situation and the position of political art in the Czech context and answer on the question, if the political art are works, which are directly connected with politi-cal themes and try to reveal, why authors refuse the inclusion into this category.
