1918 marked the end of a golden era: it was the year that Gustav
Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, and Otto Wagner died. Artistic
activity, however, had already freed itself of their influence.
Hardly affected by the political disruptions taking plac e, artists
in the countries of the former Austro - Hungarian monarchy were
busily productive, driven by a desire for a new start. The period
between the two World Wars is characterised in the arts by
international networks that transcended political and id eological
borders. A lively artistic exchange took place, stimulating
constructive, expressionist, and fantastic tendencies. An
increasingly important role was played by magazines that
disseminated new positions. The outbreak of World War II abruptly
inter rupted these cosmopolitan art networks. This publication
examines the fascinating, artistically fruitful epoch between the
wars.
