William Ritter´s friendship with the painter, art critic and man of letters Miloš Jiránek raised questions which concern the nature of modernism and the relationship between artistic centres and peripheries. This relationship to Ritter reflects the path to self-awareness followed by the Czech modernists, the need for them to set their own goals and to find their place in relation to contemporary events in the world and to their own tradition and environment.
