At the turn of the 20th century, Vienna was one of the most exciting cities on earth-the central gathering spot of the European avant-garde in art, architecture, literature, music, journalism,
philosophy, psychiatry, and theater. The dynamic cross-pollination among the revolutionary figures involved-Klimt, Kokoschka, the Wiener Werkst簿聶翻tte, Mahler, Freud, Wittgenstein, and many
more-turned the Austrian capital into an extraordinary laboratory for new ideas and concepts. It is where modern was born.
With more than 500 illustrations, Vienna 1900 is a unique, concise portrait of a vibrant world and its most important protagonists. At the turn of the 20th century, Vienna was one of the
