Art in Vienna, 1898-1918 Author: Peter Vergo

ISBN: 9780714829678 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 256 Published: 28 October 1993 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 28.0 x 21.4 x 2.5 Description: The artistic stagnation of Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century was rudely shaken by the artists of the Secession.

Their works at first shocked a conservative public, but their successive exhibitions, their magazine Ver Sacrum and their dedication to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. With 60 new colour illustrations, this classic book, now in its third edition, brilliantly traces the course of this development, of the Wiener Werkstätte that followed, and the individual works of the artists concerned.

The result is a fascinating documentary study of the successes and failures, hopes and fears of the members of an artistic movement that is so much admired today.
