Opis i karakteristike
Vienna combines drama and elegance like no other. For centuries the heart of the AustroHungarian Empire, the stately city on the Danube, has been defined by vast palaces and imperial grandeurbut behind the Baroque opulence, Vienna is also a place of genteel coffee house culture, epicurean tradition, and a heritage of both delicate and daring music, art, and design, from Johann Strauss to Egon Schiele, from Gustav Mahler to Josef Hoffmann.
This volume is a treasure trove of photography from the last 175 years, following the evolution of Vienna from imperial capital to modern metropolis. Like a visual walk through time and cityscape, hundreds of carefully curated pictures trace the developments in Vienna’s built environment and the cultural and historical trends they reflect, whether the urban Gesamtkunstwerk of the 19thcentury Ringstrasse or the experiments of "Red Vienna" in the 1920s, when the city had a social democrat government for the first time.
Through these remarkable photographs, we discover not only the great landmarks and lesserknown corners of Vienna, but also the ubiquity and the tumult of its history. We see the cultural blossoming of the fin de siècle, when radical innovators such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Adolf Loos, and Sigmund Freud turned Vienna into a “laboratory of modernity”; the clashes of 1934; the ascent of Nazi dictatorship; and the horrors writ by the Holocaust in what was once one of the most populous and multiethnic cities on earth. More recently, fascinating postwar photographs explore the Vienna of the Third Man, at once a city in ruins and a hub for spies. The book closes with the most recent pictures, celebrating the emergence of today’s Viennaone of the most attractive cities in Europe, in which rich history once again coexists with international flair and vibrant contemporary culture.
