The 1920s Czech avant-garde is associated with the Devětsil group and the quest for artistic ideas that resulted in the formulation of a next art school known as „poetism“. The upcoming generation refused to „do art“ for a narrow elite circle, instead of opening up a „new beauty“ for everybody, even those social strata that were missing out on art. The chapter discusses Vítězslav Nezval’s Pantomima (1924) as one of the prominent examples of intermedial and remediation practices of the pre-war avant-garde movements. For Nezval his project incorporated „a meeting of arts accomplishing a joint task,“ which would not have been possible if poetism had not drawn inspiration from the new media and art forms that they brought with them.
