The nature of artistic expression of the Únětice culture’s people

Abstract

The analysis of the artistic expression of the population of the Únětice culture was carried out assuming that the style is expressed through various media. Due to different materials, their properties and meth ods of treatment, the effects must differ in obvious ways. However, the idea remains common. Comparing subsequent elements of a culture, we can expect to perceive a set of repeatable features – the paradigms. Hence, the analytical procedure consisted in searching for and classifying similarities. It was carried out in three fields: architecture, artistic expression, and paratheatrical activity. The results obtained indicate that the artistic activity of the population of the Únětice culture was a harmonious whole. Individual types of expression were complementary and in part also resulted from each other.
