Research Focus

Professor Pomajzlová specializes in modern and contemporary art history with particular expertise in Czech and Central European artistic traditions. Her scholarly work examines German-Czech artistic relations throughout the 20th century, Czech sculpture, object art from 1964-1980, and the phenomenon of female artists' circles. She investigates how political contexts shape artistic production, with special attention to abstraction/figuration dynamics and expanded visual expression.

Her research bridges historical analysis with contemporary art theory, focusing on regional art centers like Liberec and exploring utopian imagery from Renaissance to modernity. Current supervision includes ongoing research on female artists' circles alongside recently completed work on Czech object art in Central European neo-avant-garde contexts.
