The paper is a sample of the author´s current intermedial research into the illustrations of Karel Jaromír Erben’s volume of ballads Kytice (1853). Visual transmediations of a literary pretext may be understood as interpretations sui generis: while illustrations reveal the individual attitude of the visual artist, the illustrated book bears traces of the conditions in which it was published. In case of a classical work such as Kytice, numerous illustrated editions inevitably reflect also the concept of cultural tradition in the period concerned. Relevant social, creative and spiritual problems and needs of the time may be projected onto the illustrations resulting in a meaning-making process related to and parallel to the textual one. The focus of this enquiry is expressed by the optical categories of colour, brightness, and contrast as related to the visual representations and traits of the pretext. Featured illustrators: Zdeněk Sklenář, Alén Diviš, Helena Konstantinová.

The intermedial approach to the short stories by Michael Yatskov is used in the article. This approach makes it possible to reveal how painter’s component is embodied in artistic thinking of the author. It’s highlighted that personal encounters with artists, knowledge of their biographies, creative lives used to have a significant influence on the creative formation of the writer. Attention is focused on that how the atmosphere of rivalry between painters, authors’ sympathies and antipathies is reflected in novels. It is proved that the prototype of Korney Borsuk from the essay ‘Death of the God. A studio with a hammer’ was Ivan Trush, to whom the writer demonstrated the negative attitude. The paper draws our attention to the fact, that all characters often appeal to the canvases for supporting their thoughts, showing a good knowledge of art rarities. The article reveals the means to achieve the visual effect in the writer’s works, the function of intermedial inclusions confirming author’s diversity of interests: from Antiquity era – up to the latest trends and tendencies in the art. Numerous literary correlations in the novels demonstrate a good knowledge of art history, creative biographies of the painters of different times and peoples: Lyudomyr-Lyudvyg Benedyktovych, Artur Grottger, Ivan Trush, Julian Pankevych, Aubrey Beardsley, Mathis Nithardt and others. The paper elucidates that artistic versatility has become a landmark of the twentieth century. Figurative-expressive potential of M. Yatskov’s artistic expression is enriched due to his mastering the means of adjacent arts.
