Synopsis

Around 1900, the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte turned Vienna into the birthplace of modernism. This opulent publication on Viennese modernism (1890-1918) focuses on famous ornamental works by Gustav Klimt, erotic depictions of the body by Egon Schiele and a young Oskar Kokoschka, and works by other artists such as Richard Gerstl or Arnold Schönberg, architects, furniture designers, and craftspeople from the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte. Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner, Koloman Moser, Joseph Maria Olbrich, and Josef Hoffmann count among the most prominent representatives of this period and had lasting influence on architecture ans items prectical use. Edited by Barbara Steffen and with texts by Christian Meyer, Franz Smola, Barbara Steffen, Barbara Sternthal, Beate Susanne Wehr, Alfred Weidinger, and Reiner Zettl, this volume clearly demonstrates the references to painterly ornamentation, as well as to objects and designs from the Wiener Werkstätte. The close cooperation among all of these artists involved a new concept of art, that of the Gesamtkunstwerk, which continued to be developed later at the Bauhaus and in the De Stijl movement.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Around 1900, the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte turned Vienna into the birthplace of modernism. This opulent publication on Viennese modernism (1890-1918) focuses on famous ornamental works by Gustav Klimt, erotic depictions of the body by Egon Schiele and a young Oskar Kokoschka, and works by other artists, architects, furniture designers, and craftspeople from the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte. Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner, Koloman Moser, Joseph Maria Olbrich, and Josef Hoffmann count among the most prominent representatives of this period. Early works by Oskar Kokoschka, oil paintings by Richard Gerstl, and several paintings by Arnold Schönberg are also featured in this volume. The painterly ornamentation of paintings, as well as objects and designs from the Wiener Werkstätte, clearly demonstrate how the artists made reference to one another. The close cooperation among all of these artists involved a new concept of art, that of the Gesamtkunstwerk, which continued to be developed later at the Bauhaus and in the De Stijl movement.
