{"product_id":"art-in-vienna-1898-1918","title":"Art in Vienna 1898-1918","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe artistic stagnation of Vienna at the end of the 19th century was rudely shaken by the artists of the Vienna Secession. Their work shocked a conservative public, but their successive exhibitions, their magazine \u003ci\u003eVer Sacrum\u003c\/i\u003e, and their application to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. \u003ci\u003eArt in Vienna, 1898-1918: Klimt, Kokoschka, Schiele and their Contemporaries\u003c\/i\u003e, now published in its 4th edition, brilliantly traces the course of this development. Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele were the leading figures in the fine arts; Wagner, Olbrich, Loos and Hoffmann in architecture and the applied arts. In other fields, Mahler, Freud and Schnitzler were influencing the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes eye-witness accounts of exhibitions, the opening of the Secession building and other events, and the result is a fascinating documentary study of the members of an artistic movement which is much admired today. Some 150 color images and 75 black and white archival illustrations make this a sumptuous and historically engrossing study of a period when Vienna was the centre of the European art world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48695094902884,"sku":"9780714868783","price":65.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/5292\/6820\/files\/9780714868783-Art-in-Vienna-1898-1918-4th-edition-3D-standing-1to1_f654cd15-599b-42ec-a6d1-b5b4a26cc16d.jpg?v=1783114191","url":"https:\/\/www.phaidon.com\/en-ca\/products\/art-in-vienna-1898-1918","provider":"Phaidon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
