More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Borsi and Godoli's Vienna 1900 and Kallir's Viennese Design are complementary books on Viennese art 1880-1930. Kallir's, an expanded exhibition catalog, is the better of the two. It is succinct, covers more media, and is aimed at a more general audience. Kallir gives a brief history of the Wiener Werkstatte, the Austrian crafts/arts organization, discusses architecture and the ideal of a complete work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) embracing all media, and sketches the main actors in the artistic world of the time. Borsi's book, which is awkwardly translated, deals with the works of Otto Wagner, Josef Olbrich, Josef Hoffman, and Adolf Loos, all architects, and their followers. There is substantial material here, particularly in the images (many contemporary) and in the chronological documentation of the architects and their works, but this is a hybrid work, ultimately not satisfactory to the scholar or to the general reader. Those interested in the period will prefer Varnedoe's extensive essay based on the 1986 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. This is an articulate overview of architecture, design, painting, and drawing in the period 1900-1918, with emphasis on the major figuresKlimt, Schiele, Kokoschka in painting; Wagner, Hoffmann, and Olbrich in architecture; and Moser in design. Varnedoe writes well, has something to say, and says it in an elegantly produced volume of synthetic understanding. Broader than the other two volumes reviewed here, and the best of the three, his book is highly recommended. Jack Perry Brown, Ryerson & Burnham Libs., Art Inst. of Chicago
