{"product_id":"9780714868783","title":"Art in Vienna 1898-1918: Klimt, Kokoschka, Schiele and their contemporaries","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":47014390792432,"sku":"9780714868783","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780714868783_p0.jpg?v=1763617944","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780714868783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
