Cubism Architecture Waking Tour with Private Guide - S4<\/h1>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/p>

Daring rhytmisation of facades resembling crystalline structures\u2026<\/em><\/p>

We are all familiar with the Cubist paintings of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, but seldom connect this artistic style with architecture. Actually, it\u2019s not surprising. The Cubist period flew past like a comet and only left its imprint in the Czech lands. It therefore remains somewhat of an eccentricity that was, however, incorporated into the context of modern architecture and today enjoys great admiration. It\u2019s renowned for its diversion from the traditional understanding of architecture based on harmony of vertical and horizontal lines. Cubist fa\u00e7ades are full of angled surfaces and crystalline structures that stun us with their dynamics and play of light and shadow. Particularly so when we realize how far ahead of their time they were, as they were built with plastered brick construction.<\/p>

As Miroslav Lama\u010d wrote, in the beginning of the second decade of the 20th century \u201cPrague became a true city of Cubism, where Cubist houses were built and filled with Cubist furniture. Their inhabitants could drink tea from Cubist cups, put flowers into Cubist vases, measure time using Cubist clocks, light their homes with Cubist lamps and read books with Cubist typography.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Your private guide will gradually introduce you to the works of the most significant Cubist architects, most of which are located in downtown Prague. Among them are the House of the Black Madonna (Go\u010d\u00e1r), the Diamant House (Kr\u00e1l\u00ed\u010dek) and Teachers\u2019 Houses in the Old Town (Novotn\u00fd). In the center, we will also focus on a branch of this style called Rondocubism, or Art Deco. We can admire the famous Legiobank (Go\u010d\u00e1r), Adria Palace (Zasche, Jan\u00e1k) as well as the My\u0161\u00e1k caf\u00e9 (\u010capek, Go\u010d\u00e1r, Jan\u00e1k). However, to see the best known Cubist houses, we will travel along the Vltava river bank under Vy\u0161ehrad, where we\u2019ll find surprising buildings by Josef Chochola with their impressively structured fa\u00e7ades resembling angled crystal surfaces.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\"\" MUSEUM\u00a0OF CZECH CUBISM IN\u00a0THE HOUSE\u00a0OF\u00a0THE BLACK MADONNA<\/h3>

Aside from several Cubist paintings and sculptures, the exhibition particularly focuses on Cubist furniture and decorative housewares from tableware to vases to items such as a Bundt-cake form that brought their creators (particularly Jan\u00e1k and Hofman) worldwide renown. The museums shows footage of truly interesting sets of sketches of Cubist buildings that were never built. The guided tour takes about an hour.<\/p>\"https:\/\/www.pragueartstour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/s4-a2-1170x300.jpg\"\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

TOUR RATES<\/h3>\n<\/div>

The listed rate is a price per HOUR OF GUIDE SERVICE FOR THE GIVEN NUMBER OF PERSONS. Yours will be a private tour, so these would only be the number of people you travel with and for whom you order. We most often structure Prague tours into \u00bd day blocks (3-4 hours each). To get your expected total tour price, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours. You will then pay for the actual number of hours guided during your tour.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
