Abstract: Vlastislav Hofman (1884-1964), architect, painter, and set and costume designer, was a leading member of the Czech modernist
movement, and is perhaps best known for his work in the theater. In a career which spanned approximately forty years he designed
sets for nearly 300 productions and worked with many leading Czech dramaturges. The Vlastislav Hofman papers and drawings
contains material from several stages in Hofman's career, and include an extensive collection of letters and postcards from
prominent figures in the Czech avant-garde movement; business correspondence regarding exhibitions and conferences; several
volumes of photographs of set designs, costume designs, and production designs; architectural sketches; and several original
drawings of projects in the decorative arts representative of an early period in his career.

Biographical / Historical Note
Vlastislav Hofman (1884-1964), was born in Jičín, a small town in northern Bohemia. Hofman's father was a shoemaker and an
avid socialist. He was responsible for organizing a social-democratic organization in Jičín and in the surrounding area. Vlastislav
Hofman's early exposure to political activity was to later inspire his work in the theater, such as in the designs for the
"Husité" and "Svítání." From 1902 to 1907 Hofman attended the Czech Technical University in Prague, where he studied architecture
under the direction of Jan Emil Koula and J. Schulz and met fellow artists Pavel Janák and Josef Chochol.
After becoming an architect, Hofman participated in numerous design competitions for public buildings in Prague and other
cities. Hofman worked closely with Chochol, Janák, and Josef Gočár in developing a Cubo-Expressionist movement in architecture.
Few of Hofman's projects were ever realized, but a handful of innovative designs such as the Prague Dáblice cemetery (1912-1913)
gained Hofman notable acclaim for his architectural work. Together with Chochol, Janák, and Josef Gočár and others, the group
extended their Cubo-Expressionist ideas to furniture and ceramic design. In other countries, Cubist principles were rarely
applied to the decorative arts, in contrast to the highly original and innovative Czech movement. The Prague group is considered
one of the most important Cubist centers after Paris, and the Expressionist element of its work has been observed to keenly
reflect the agitation and upheaval of the times.
At various points in his career, Hofman was affiliated with several Prague artists' groups and other fundamental institutions
in the development of Czech modernism. He was briefly a member of Artěl and early in his career joined Spolek výtvarných umělců
Mánes (the Mánes Association of Plastic Artists). In 1911, he was a founding member of the avant-garde group Skupina výtvarných
umělců. The group was responsible for several large exhibitions in Prague and published a journal entitled
Umělcký měsíčník, edited by Josef Čapek. In 1912, Hofman left the group, along with many of his artistic allies, and returned to Mánes. Among
Hofman's closest collaborators of the Czech avant-garde were Josef Čapek, Václav Špála, Emil Filla, Antonín Procházka, Vincenc
Beneš, Otto Guttfreund, Chochol, Janák, and Gočár. Hofman designed illustrations for a number of books, among a collection
of short stories by Karel Čapek in 1916. The artistic activities of Hofman and his peers were interrupted by World War II,
for which many, including Hofman, were called to serve. Upon return from the war, Hofman joined the group Tvrdošíjiným, an
early product of newly-independent Czechoslovakia, and exhibited work at their first show in 1918. In 1921, he published a
collection of woodcuts entitled
Fysiognomie. The publications were numbered and each woodcut is hand-painted in watercolor. (The Getty Research Institute holds copy
number 10B).
In the early 1910s, Hofman corresponded frequently with his close friend, the playwright Jan Bartoš, during which time they
discussed psychological portraits of characters in the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Both artists claim to have been inspired
by Dostoevsky's characters. These drawings brought Hofman's artwork to the attention of the director Karel Hugo Hilar. In
1919, Hofman began his career in the theater with a production of Antonín Dvořák's play "Husité," directed by Hilar. This
was the first of a number of historical productions that would occupy Hofman throughout his career. Several of Hofman's other
production designs, such as those for William Shakespeare's "Bouře" (The Tempest") in 1920 are distinguished by a characteristic
intensity of lighting effects. The Cubist strain of Hofman's work is evident in many of his set designs, among others "Královna
Kristýna" (1922). On two separate occasions (1929 and 1939) Hofman created sets for the science fiction play "R.U.R.," written
by the foremost Czech writer of the period, Karel Čapek. Altogether, he designed sets and costumes for close to 300 productions
and throughout his career worked with several leading Czech dramaturgists, among them Hilar, Vojta Novák, Jan Bor and Karel
Dostal.
Hofman was recognized repeatedly for his work in the theater, and received awards for his designs at home and abroad. In 1936
he was invited to Rome with Hilar to take part in a large international theater conference. Many of the most prominent twentieth
century playwrights, writers and artists were in attendance, including Luigi Pirandello, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Walter Gropius,
William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Filippo Tommaso Marínetti, and Maurice Maeterlinck.
Hofman remained active in the theater until the 1950s. In 1951, he designed a long series of costume designs for the film
"Anna proletářka," produced in 1953. Several exhibitions of Hofman's work were organized during the latter part of his career.
A large monograph on his theatrical career was published in 1951. Since Hofman's death in 1964 at the age of 80, his work
has been featured in several international exhibitions in Germany, Italy, the United States, and in the Czech Republic.

La scène moderne Tchèque by Miroslav Rutte and František Michálek Bartoš for identifying individual production designs and researching Hofman's work
in the theater;
Czech Cubism: Architecture, Furniture, Decorative Artsand
Czech Modernism, 1900-1945 for background material on the period; and several exhibition catalogs and curricula vitea for documenting Hofman's professional
career.
Related Archival Materials

Scope and Content of Collection
The Vlastislav Hofman papers and drawings consists of published articles, letters and postcards, awards, curricula vitae,
and material relating to conferences and exhibitions. The photo archive contains biographical photographs and photographs
of set designs for the theater, costume designs for film and theater, realized sets and performances, decorative arts designs
and paintings. The collection also includes original architectural drawings and decorative arts designs.
Series I. The publications in the collection are offprints from several leading Czech journals, and are concentrated primarily
in the 1910s and 1920s when Hofman took an active part in several artistic organizations such as Skupina, Tvrdošíjným, and
Umělecká beseda. In the articles, Hofman discusses issues relating to current trends in the visual arts and in the theater.
Series II. contains letters and postcards received by Hofman from prominent figures in the Czech art and theater communities,
including the artists Vacláv Špála, Pavel Janák, and Bohumil Kubišta; the dramaturge Josef Kodiček; prominent art critic Václav
Štech; and writer Jan Bartoš. Other notable figures represented in this series include Otakar Kubín, Josef Čapek, Stanislav
Neumann, and Miroslav Ponc. Miscellaneous business correspondence in the collection provides accounts of the sale of works,
honoraria for articles, and membership in Skupina vytvarných Umělců.
The printed matter in Series III. contains extensive biographical information on Hofman. A typescript of a lecture by Adolf
Benš, given in Hofman's hometown Jičín two years after Hofman's death, provides details of Hofman's family background and
career. The curricula vitae, written by Hofman and others, together with the many small exhibition catalogs provide a comprehensive
account of Hofman's artistic activities. A few of the exhibition catalogs have been cataloged separately but are housed in
the present collection. The collection holds extensive material dating from Hofman's participation in the 4th Volta Conference,
an international theater conference held in Rome in 1936. Critical reviews of Hofman's work in theater which are housed in
the collection were taken from numerous journals and cover various stages of his career. There are also many reviews of exhibitions
of Hofman's work, held both in Czechoslovakia and in Italy, and articles commemorating Hofman's 50th, 60th, 70th, and 80th
birthdays.
Series IV. Photographs cover much of Hofman's career in the theater. There is also an entire volume of costume designs which
Hofman created from the film
Anna proletářka in 1951.
A small collection of photographs of decorative arts are arranged according to the type of project. The collection contains
photographs of both sketches and realized projects representative of Hofman's early career as part of the Cubo-Expressionist
movement. A number of the works in Series V are also representative of Hofman's Cubo-expressionism. The oversized and double-oversized
works in Series V. comprise original designs in the decorative arts and architecture.
Biographical photographs of Hofman date from various period in his life and are generally arranged chronologically (several
are undated). There are a few early photographs circa 1910 which depict Hofman among his avant-garde friends. Several photographs
document Hofman's wife Zdenka, their two daughters, and two grandchildren. There are a number of photographs of Hofman taken
in the last years of his life and shortly before his death in 1964.

1916-1963
Physical Description:
0.83 linear feet
(2 boxes)
Scope and Content Note
This series contains letters and postcards received by Hofman from prominent Czech artists, writers, dramaturgists and critics.
Some of these letters are of a more personal nature, but many provide interesting discussions on contemporary trends in art.
The letters from Karel and Josef Čapek are undated, but most likely were sent in 1911 and 1912 when the brothers were living
in Paris. One recent monograph on Czech Cubism mentions that both Hofman and Josef Čapek studied for a brief period in 1912
at the Academie Colarossi in Paris, though this information has not been corroborated in any other biographical sketch of
Hofman (
Czech Cubism: Architecture, Furniture, and Decorative Arts, 1910-1925. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1992). The collection holds a number of letters from one of Hofman's clostest friends,
the artist Vacláv Špála. Špála also traveled to Paris in 1911 and, like the Čapeks, contributed to the development of Cubism
in Prague upon his return. None of the letters from Špála in the present collection date from 1911, but many were sent in
1913 when Špála was on a study fellowship in Italy. In one of his letters to Hofman, Špála provides an elaborate description
of his theories of painting.
Included in the archive are a number of postcards from Hofman's close friend and fellow artist Pavel Janák. The postcards
document Janák's travels to Florence, Rome, Munich, Vienna, and other cities in Europe. A few of the cards date as early as
1904, the earliest piece of correspondence in the collection, where Hofman and Janák were still at the Technical University
in Prague. Of note are the letters and cards sent by a few of Hofman's friends and acquaintances, for example the dramaturge
Josef Kodiček and the artist Bohumil Kubišta, while they were stationed at the front in WWI. Kubišta, one of the better known
Czech painters of the Cubist movement, died soon after returning from the front in 1918.
Also present are postcards sent to Hofman in 1910 by the prominent art critic Václav Štech while he was abroad in Italy and
Berlin. Both Štech and his wife Marie Štechová were close friends of Hofman. Štech and Hofman were among the founding members
of the Skupina organization.
The collection contains sixty-five letters to Hofman from the writer Jan Bartoš dated between 1916 and 1918. During this period
Hofman appears to have corresponded frequently and extensively with Bartoš who was then living in Turov. Bartoš played an
integral role in Hofman's introduction into the world of theater in 1919, and Hofman later designed sets for productions of
several of Bartoš' plays. The letters include copious notes by Bartoš on Fyodor Dostroevsky's novels. In a few letters he
lists quotations from the novels regarding a particular character and then adds his own subsequent analysis of the character.
Approximately at the same time as the letters were written, Hofman was working on a series of drawings inspired by these same
characters of Dostoevsky's works.
Three postcards in the collection were written by Otakar Kubín to Josef Čapek. These are notable because it is believed that
most of Čapek's correspondence was lost after his arrest by the Nazis in 1939; he would later die at Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
All of the postcards from Kubín were sent from Paris, probably sometime in the early 1910s. In one postcard Kubín reports
that he has attended a lecture by Filippo Tommaso Marínetti where he has met the sculptor Umberto Boccioni.
Two letters from the poet Stanislav Neumann discuss articles recently published by Hofman. The letters were written around
the time when Hofman was designing book covers for Neumann's collections of poetry (see Series V, Box 13*). Also of note in
Series II are two orginal music scores (piano fortes) written by Miroslav Ponc. The scores are written on small cards, signed
by Ponc and dated 1961 and 1962.
Miscellaneous business correspondence in the collection provides accounts of the sale of works, honoraria for articles, and
membership in Skupina vytvarných umělců. Several letters from Lee Simonson document Hofman's participation in an international
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1934. In his postcards from
Die Aktion, Franz Pfempert asks Hofman to send reproductions of his works for the journal.

Printed matter and curricula vitae materials,
1936, 1964-1965, 1972, undated
Physical Description:
0.42 linear feet
(1 box)
Scope and Content Note
The printed matter contains extensive biographical information on Hofman. A typescript of a lecture by Adolf Benš, given in
Hofman's hometown Jičín two years after Hofman's death, provides details of Hofman's family background and career. The curricula
vitae, written by Hofman and others, together with the many small exhibition catalogs provide a comprehensive account of Hofman's
artistic activities.
The collection holds extensive material dating from Hofman's participation in the 4th Volta Conference, an international theater
conference held in Rome in 1936. The conference was sponsored by the Reale Academia D'Italia and the Reunion Volta and was
a significant event in the world of theater at the time. The conference was led by the Reunion's President, Luigi Pirandello,
and was attended by many leading playwrights, set designers and dramaturges from all over the world. The collection includes
a signed photograph of Pirandello and numerous other pieces of memorabilia from the event. Critical reviews of Hofman's work
in theater, taken from numerous journals, cover various stages of his career. There are also reviews of exhibitions of Hofman's
work, held both in Czechoslovakia and in Italy, and articles commemorating Hofman's 50th, 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays.

Photographs
1907-1954
Physical Description:
1.46 linear feet
(7 boxes)
Scope and Content Note
The photographs document much of Hofman's career in the theater. There is also an entire volume of costume designs which Hofman
created from the film "Anna proletářka" in 1951. The photographs of actual sets and live performances have been arranged seperately
in section 4 of box 7 and are also arranged chronologically and labeled, where possible. A small group of large photographs
of set designs and architectural projects are housed seperately in box 8.
A small collection of photographs of works in the decorative arts are arranged according to the type of project. The collection
contains photographs of both sketches and realized projects. These works are representative of Hofman's early career as part
of the Cubo-Expressionist movement in Prague. A number of the works in Series V. are also representative of Hofman's Cubo-Expressionism.
The oversized and double-oversized works in Series V. comprise original designs in the decorative arts and architecture. Unless
noted, the works are drawings in pencil or ink. The works are also arranged according to type of project. Box 13* contains
several designs in the decorative arts for ceramic, wood, and metal objects. Box 14* houses works stemming from Hofman's early
career in architecture. Most of the designs, primarily for churches and public projects, date from the early 1910s. Several
were created as entries for design competitions, but most of his architectural plans were never realized. Of the architectural
drawings in the collection only one is believed to have been constructed (box 14*, folder 4). Some architectural drawings
are housed in the Flatfile Folders together with exhibition posters and diplomas.
The biographical photographs of Hofman in Series IV date from various periods in his life and are generally arranged chronologically
(several are undated). There are a few early photographs circa 1910 which depict Hofman among his avant-garde friends. Several
photographs document Hofman's wife Zdenka, their two daughters, and two grandchildren. There are a number of photographs of
Hofman taken in the last years of his life and shortly before his death in 1964.
