Poets and intellectuals brushed shoulders in bustling coffeehouses,
young avant-gardists heralded a new era in social and sexual
liberalism, waltzes resounded through the Ringstrasse, the Vienna
Secession preached: "To every age its art - to every art its
freedom;" and tremors warned of looming political disintegration
when the Austrian capital passed into a new century. Across
economics, science, art, and music, Vienna blossomed into a
"laboratory of modernity," one which nurtured some of the greatest
artistic innovators-from Egon Schiele's unflinching nude portraits
to Gustav Klimt's decadent Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, from
the ornamental seams and glass floors of Otto Wagner to Ditha
Moser's calendars adorned in golden deities. Discover the
zeitgeist, the scandals, and the extraordinary protagonists in this
introduction to a transformative epoch. Across painting, sculpture,
architecture, and design, we explore all the movers and shakers
through insightful profiles and crisp double-page reproductions.
Marking the centenary of the deaths of some of its brightest
talents, this collection joins Vienna in its 2018 celebration of
Modernism. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series
has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever
published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art History series
features: approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory
captions a detailed, illustrated introduction a selection of the
most important works of the epoch, each presented on a two-page
spread with a full-page image and accompanying interpretation, as
well as a portrait and brief biography of the artist
