Summary/Abstract: Josef Váchal is a Czech artist who experimented with various forms, searching for novel means of expression both in plastic arts and literary genves. His works cover a collection of miscellaneous texts published with the highest diligence. In this paper, Váchal’s oeuvre is presented in the context of the era of his activity and in the context of the study Dějiny nové moderny of 2010. The approach of the Czech literature experts consists in grasping the literary works in motion, in the context of the situation they were born and they struggled for their position among contemporary expressions. A new outlook to the Czech modernism is an approach that benefits from the scientific works of Pierre Bourdieu, whose field (champ) theory was used, and of Peter Zajac – the author of the synoptic map concept.
