Art in Vienna 1898-1918: Klimt, Kokoschka, Schiele and Their Contemporaries

Peter Vergo, 2015

Overview

This book chronicles the vibrant artistic period in Vienna between 1898 and 1918, a time when the Vienna Secession movement challenged artistic conventions. The Secessionists, through their exhibitions and the magazine Ver Sacrum, gained a devoted following and significant patronage by integrating art into applied arts and architecture. The 4th edition of this study brilliantly traces this development, highlighting key figures like Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele in fine arts, and Josef Hoffmann, Josef Maria Olbrich, and Adolf Loos in architecture and design. It also touches upon the influence of figures like Gustav Mahler, Sigmund Freud, and Arthur Schnitzler on the avant-garde.
