Seller's Description:
New. During the great flourishing of modern art in fin-de-siecle''Vienna, artists of that city focused on images of individuals. Their portraits depict artists, patrons, families, friends, intellectual allies, and society celebrities from the upwardly mobile middle classes. Viewed as a whole, the images allow us to reconstruct the subjects' shifting identities as the Austro-Hungarian Empire underwent dramatic political changes, from the 1867 'Ausgleich' (Compromise) to the end of World War I. This is viewed as a time when the avant-garde overthrew the academy, yet 'Facing the Modern 'tells a more complex story of the time through thought-provoking texts by numerous leading art historians. Their writings examine paintings by innovative artists such as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele alongside earlier works, blurring the conventionally-held distinctions between 19th-century and early-20th-century art, and revealing surprising continuities in the production and consumption of portraits. This compelling book features works not only by famous names but also by lesser-known female and Jewish artists, giving a more complete picture of the time. An engaging look at how the middle classes of fin-de-siecle''Vienna used innovative portraiture to define their identity Open copy, still in VERY good condition. Interior pages are very clean! Sold as is!
