A contribution from the conference 'The Second Avant-garde' (part of the grant-funded project 'The Myths, Language, and Taboos of the Czech Post-Avant-garde from the Forties to the Sixties'), which was held on 23 October 2007. On the basis of two fundamental Avant-garde texts - 'K otazkam avantgardy a nastupu nove generace' (Questions of the Avant-garde and the coming of the new generation) by Karel Teige (1900-1951) and 'Snad nic, snad neco' (Perhaps nothing, perhaps something) by Jiri Kolar (1914-2002) - the author considers the relationships amongst the individual generations of the Avant-garde and their development from the 1920s to the 1960s. He demonstrates the differences amongst the individual Avant-garde groups (generations) resistance (created, he argues, by Teige) to the widespread understanding of the Avant-garde's being monolithic. His primary attention is on Teige and Kolar, two leading figures of the Czech Avant-garde.
