In the 1990s, attempts were made to place this specifically Czech style in the context of European Art Deco. History Rondocubism developed after the First World War in the newly formed Czechoslovakia and became the national style for a short time, but was replaced by functionalism as early as in mid-1920s. It is characterized by the introduction of round forms such as semicircles, circles and ovals, which were intended to evoke echoes of the national Slavic traditions. Rondocubism was preferred in Prague, but was also used in industrial architecture in the surrounding area. Several rond ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
