在经济、科学、艺术和音乐领域，维也纳发展成为一个“现代实验室”，培养出了一些最伟大的艺术创新者——从Egon Schiele大胆无畏的裸体肖像到Gustav Klimt堕落的《艾蒂儿•布洛赫-鲍尔画像一号》，从Otto Wagner的装饰性接缝和玻璃地板到Ditha Moser的用金色的女神装饰的日历。

在这本介绍一个大变革时代的著作中发现时代思潮、丑闻和非凡的拥护者。在绘画、雕塑、建筑和设计领域，我们通过富有洞察力的简介和平展的双页复制品探索了所有的推动者和撼动者。

Poets and intellectuals brushed shoulders in bustling coffeehouses, young avant-gardists heralded a new era in social and sexual liberalism, waltzes resounded through the Ringstrasse, the Vienna Secession preached: "To every age its art - to every art its freedom;" and tremors warned of looming political disintegration when the Austrian capital passed into a new century.Across economics, science, art, and music, Vienna blossomed into a "laboratory of modernity," one which nurtured some of the greatest artistic innovators-from Egon Schiele's unflinching nude portraits to Gustav Klimt's decadent Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, from the ornamental seams and glass floors of Otto Wagner to Ditha Moser's calendars adorned in golden deities.Discover the zeitgeist, the scandals, and the extraordinary protagonists in this introduction to a transformative epoch. Across painting, sculpture, architecture, and design, we explore all the movers and shakers through insightful profiles and crisp double-page reproductions. Marking the centenary of the deaths of some of its brightest talents, this collection joins Vienna in its 2018 celebration of Modernism.
