Se vzpomínkami dlouholetého ředitele Moravské galerie v Brně Jiřího Hlušičky se dle autora zájemcům o dějiny města Brna dostává do rukou zajímavé svědectví o kulturním životě moravské metropole ve druhé polovině dvacátého století. Hlušička stál v čele této instituce téměř tři desítky let, od roku 1961, kdy se mu podařilo ji vytvořit osamostatněním obrazárny Moravského muzea v Brně a jejím spojením s Uměleckoprůmyslovým muzeem, až do roku 1989, kdy odešel do důchodu. Hlavně kolem tohoto působení se také soustřeďují jeho vzpomínky, mezi nimiž mohou zaujmout například črty význačných umělců, s nimiž se setkal. Autor jen lituje, že na okraji líčení zůstaly politické události a proměny atmosféry ve společnosti od padesátých do osmdesátých let., According to the reviewer, these memoirs of the long-serving director of the Moravian Gallery, in Brno, Jiří Hlušička (b. 1929), provide readers interested in the history of Brno with lively testimony about the arts scene in this city, the capital of Moravia, in the second half of the twentieth century. Hlušička was head of this institution for almost three decades, from 1961, when he succeed in creating it (by making the picture gallery of the Moravian Museum in Brno independent and then joining it to the Museum of Decorative Arts), until 1989, when he retired. And it is mainly on people, places, and events associated with this work that his memoirs are focused, including character sketches of important artists he had met. The reviewer regrets only that the political events and the changes in the atmosphere of society from the 1950s to the 1980s remain on the periphery of this account., [autor recenze] Jiří Pernes., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Adventus of Francis I and Maria Theresa to Florence the capital of the grand duchy of Tuscany represents an event that should not be forgotten. A reference to this ceremonial entrance of the emperor that took place on January 20, 1739 is nowadays commemorated by the Arco di Trionfo in Florence, by the relief on sarcophagus of Maria Theresa and Francois I in Imperial Crypt in Vienna as well as in the preserved written records. Based on one of the period sources (Relazione Dell’ Ingresso fatto in Firenze Dalle Altezze Reali del Serenissimo Francesco III Duca di Lorena, e di Bar, ec. ec. Granduca di Toscana, E della Serenissima Maria Teresa, Arciduchessa d’ Austria, e Granduchessa di Toscana. Il dì 20. Gennaio 1738. ab Inc.), the course of the ceremonial entrance was reconstructed. Bearing in mind its author’s intention to provide an idealized record of the event aiming to glorify the new grand duke the text was subjected to collation with hard facts of the period to obtain a more realistic view of the event., Terezie Pilarová a Magdaléna Marjaková., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
