Summary/Abstract: This work deals with a physical body imprint in Art of sixties and seventies, analysing – in a form of comparative and case studies – selected works of the Czech sculptor Eva Kmentová (1928–1980). The issue of body imprint is gripped in a broader theoretical context and is based on decisive foreign works of George Didi-Huberman and of Rosalind Krauss with Yve-Alain Bois. The aim of the thesis is to show another possible perspective of Kmentová’s work in the much broader international perspective.
