Adolf Hoffmeister 1902-1973
Adolf Hoffmeister. A short introduction.

Adolf Hoffmeister was undoubtedly one of the most pittoresque figures of

the intellectual and artistic scene in Prague during the interbellum. His was a
restless and unconventional spirit, that could not be classified. He was born
on August 15, 1902 in Prague into a well-to-do family. Adolf Hoffmeister
was described as an elegant globetrotter and art connoisseur, a gourmand,
who had a special bond with the magic power of his hometown Prague. He
was at once a painter, caricaturist, illustrator, stage decorator, author, play-
wright, translator, journalist, radio reporter, professor of art, art critic, politi-
cian, diplomat, cultural ambassador and world traveller. No wonder he can-
not be classified in any of the artistic schools of his country.

What he carries his whole life, was his left-intellectual faith, as so many of
his generation did. In October 1920 he was the youngest of a group of Czech
intellectuals - among them the 1984 Nobel prize winner Jaroslav Seifert (1901-
1986) - who founded the leftist art society “Devìtsil”. Hoffmeister was the
first secretary of “Devìtsil”. But soon afterwards he started to travel, to
study the cultures of other countries, and his ties with the group became less
narrow. During his travels he wrote articles for the Prague journals and maga-
zines. From this period date his many portraits and caricatures of artists and
other VIPs, who granted him interviews for his cultural reports.

From 1927 onwards he collaborated with the “Liberated Theatre”

(Osvobozené Divadlo), became editor of the “Lidové Noviny” journal (1928-
1930) and of the “Literární Noviny” journal (1930-1932).

In 1939 he fled the Nazis, first to France, where he was imprisoned in the
“La Santé” prison in Paris - as described in his book “Vezeni” (1969) - and
later transported to a camp in Southern France. Eventually he went to Mo-
rocco, Lisbon and finally New York, an episode he described in his book
“Animals are in cages”, New York 1941. The Czech edition of that book was
published in Prague in 1946 und the title “Turistou proti své vùli”.

After the war Hoffmeister returned to Czechoslovakia and became General

Director for Cultural Affairs for his country and participated in many activi-
ties of the UNESCO. As a left-wing intellectual he welcomed the commu-
nist take-over in February 1948 and became ambassador for his country in
Paris. As the regime grew more stalinist, he had to withdraw from the diplo-
matic service and became Professor at the Prague Academy of Decorative
Arts, where he headed a special department for children’s book illustrations
and cartoons, closely related to the cartoon studio of Jiøi Trnka.

After the collapse of the “Prague Spring” of the sixties - where he again in
vain had hoped to realise some of his ideals - he left his country for the
second time and became Professor in Vincennes (France). In 1970 he re-
turned to Prague and was declared a non-person and “parlour socialist”. He
died on July 24, 1973 in Øièky.

¶ The sought after (almost complete) fifth year of Rozpravy Aventina, with the beautiful and humoristic caricature cover drawings, all
in colour, by Adolf Hoffmeister. Published between 1925-1934 by Aventinum, one of the leading avant-garde publishing houses in
Prague in the twenties and thirties, the periodical is a goldmine for the literary and artistic movements of the period, including film,
theatre, stage design, exhibitions, painting, book publications. Not only Aventinum was an important publishing house for the avant-
garde, also their exhibition space “Aventinká Mansarda” (“The Aventinum Garret”) played an extraordinarily important role in the
art world of Czechoslovakia in the late 1920s, presenting the work of several leading Devìtsil artists. - Lacks issues 22, 23, 25, 26.
