Summary
"An extraordinary laboratory for new ideas and concepts, fin-de-siecle Vienna was the central gathering point of the European avant-garde in the fields of art, literature, music, psychiatry, philosophy, and theater. Here, now, is an illustrated portrait of this astonishing city and its most important protagonists. The authors discuss Gustav Klimt and the other artists and architects who joined in the Secession - among them Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, Josef Hoffmann, and Adolf Loos. The text reflects on the glories of the Wiener Werkstatte's crafts, prints, graphic art, and fine book production."
"Christian Brandstatter has assembled a team of Austrian and German historians, critics, and writers who investigate the origins, development, and consequences of Vienna's cultural flowering. Vienna 1900 is illustrated with over 700 paintings, drawings, poster, photographs, and ephemera drawn from public and private collections and archives. The book is rounded off with a compact but detailed appendix that offers information on the significant figures of this period."--Jacket.
