Rondocubism

In the 1990s, attempts were made to place this specifically Czech style in the context of European Art Deco.

[1][2][3][4][5] The style is "characterised by a striking wealth of colour and profusion of ornaments, probably derived from folklore sources.

"[6] Rondocubism developed after the First World War in the newly formed Czechoslovakia and became the national style for a short time, but was replaced by functionalism as early as in mid-1920s.

It is characterized by the introduction of round forms such as semicircles, circles and ovals, which were intended to evoke echoes of the national Slavic traditions.

The main works of architectural Rondocubism are the commercial building of the Legion Bank, or Legiobanka, by Josef Gočár and the Adria Palace by Pavel Janák in Prague.
