Šimerová, K. Sokol, C. Majerník, J. Mudroch, J. Želibský, V. Hložník, and the less famous, but equally good and interesting artists, such as F. Reichentál, J. Flaché, J. Jakoby, E. Nemes, J. Bauernfreund, E. Nevan, L. Guderna, V. Chmel, etc. Their paintings reflect crucial artistic problems of 20th century, such as the issue of the traditional and the modern, the national and the international, the transformation of folklore, or de-folklorisation of art, the phenomenon of town and related loneliness of man, the conflict between the reality of war and helplessness of man in "stigmatised era", the issue of fundamental human values, etc.
