The main theme of this contribution is the question whether artists were inspired by so‑called ‘small arts’ or ‘grand arts’ respectively ‘fine arts’. All of this is related to the fundamental distinction among ‘applied arts’ respectively crafts and ‘fine arts’. Subsequently the usefulness of arts is examined. In particular, the artworks of the sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch, whose sources of inspiration are analysed, could be held up as an example of the inclination to ‘grand arts’. Similarly Hugo Demartini’s affection towards ‘ancient arts’ in the 20th century is expressed by his own words.

The present article deals with the relationship between modern architects and classical architecture as far as both academic study and creative inspiration are concerned. This relationship is examined through the specific example of Professor Antonín Mendl. First of all, Mendl’s publication on Resafa is analysed and then a selection of his architectural activity is offered. On the basis of this analysis one can arrive at the conclusion that modern architecture was not in total contradiction to the historic or more precisely the classical model, but that in its fundamental principles modern architecture was based on the classical model.
