Art & design styles: c 1900 to c 1960; European history

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.

Reviews for Beyond Klimt: New Horizons in Central Europe

"""With the deaths of Klimt, Schiele, Otto Wagner and Kolomon Moser, it has been thought that their creative energy came to a halt or mutated into other areas, such as the Bauhaus. This book charts a new trajectory in the art and artists of the successor states of the Empire entre deux guerres . . . . Much of this has not been explored except by specialists and this book will serve to alert a wider audience to the considerable riches of the Secession's afterlife."" -- ""The Art Newspaper"""
