Gyűjtemény története

• Jindřich Chalupecký was a Czech literary and art critic, theoretician and historian. He could not publish after the Communist takeover in Czechoslovakia in 1948 as his writings and attitudes diverted from then required socialist-realism. However, his works could officially circulate during the short liberalization period in the 1960s. From the beginning of the 1970s, after the suppression of the “Prague Spring”, he once again became a “banned author”. Thus, he published in samizdat or in exile and foreign magazines. His texts were officially issued as re-editions or anthologies only after 1989.

  The Literary Archives of the Museum of Czech Literature acquired Jindřich Chalupecký’s written legacy successively between 1988 and 2014. Some manuscripts were sold to the Museum by Chalupecký himself in 1988 and 1989 following the Chalupecký’s agreement with Marie Krulichová, an employee of the acquisition department of the Literary Archives of the Museum of Czech Literature. At the end of the 1980s, when the control of the communist regime weakened, the Museum of Czech Literature supported unofficial artists and writers through similar purchases of their documents. This also enabled them to collect and store these materials for future historians. Chalupecký mainly sold his correspondence and manuscripts of his friends to the Museum. However, Chalupecký died in 1990, so the majority of his materials were donated by Chalupecký’s wife, poet and translator Jiřina Hauková in the 1990s. This part of the collection consists mainly of Chalupecký’s manuscripts, working papers, further correspondence and manuscripts of other authors. Some documents became part of the collection later, after Jiřina Hauková’s death in 2005. Jindřich Chalupecký’s papers can also be found in other collections of the Museum of Czech Literature and especially in the Archives of the National Gallery in Prague, which possesses Jindřich Chalupecký’s materials on the topic of Russian art of the 1960s and 1970s and texts about some Czech and Slovak artists, exhibitions and happenings.

  The legacy of Jindřich Chalupecký has been disseminating since 1990 through the prize named in his honour, the Jindřich Chalupecký Award. This prize, which was initiated by Václav Havel, Jiří Kolář and Theodor Pištěk, is annually awarded to young visual artists under 35 years old. The prize is managed by a civic association, the Jindřich Chalupecký Society.
