Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists.

Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists. Few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary works on applied design and the essence of style in fin de siecle Vienna.

Résumé:
Educated in Vienna just after the turn of the century, Frank became the leader of the younger generation of architects in Austria after the First World War. But Frank fell from grace when he emerged as a forceful critic of the extremes of modern architecture and design during the early 1930s. Dismissing the demands for a unified modern style, Frank insisted that it was pluralism, not uniformity, that most characterized life in the new machine age. He called instead for a more humane modernism, one that responded to people's everyday needs and left room for sentimentality and historical influences. He was able to put these ideas into practice when, in 1933, he was forced to leave Vienna for Sweden. There his work came to define Swedish (or Scandinavian) modern design. For more than thirty years he was the chief designer for the Stockholm furnishings firm Svenskt Tenn, producing colorful, cozy, and eclectic designs that provided a refreshing alternative to the architectural mainstream of the day and presaged the coming revolt against modernism in the 1960s.

Résumé:
Founder with Josef Hoffmann of the Wiener WerkstÃtte (or Vienna Workshop), Koloman Moser furnished Viennese homes with a simplicity and elegance that contrasted the city's baroque decadence. But, as this volume demonstrates, Moser's influence extended far beyond stylish living rooms. Here readers will be introduced to Moser as an artisan, painter, educator, designer, and driving force behind the artistic institutions of fin de siecle Vienna. Hundreds of color illustrations showcase the artist's design concepts for entire rooms, including inlaid furniture, dinnerware, vases, and wall hangings, which followed a cohesive concept that renders them classic and timeless. The volume traces Moser's artistic development as he branched into public projects, designing stamps, banknotes, and the glorious windows of the Otto Wagner Church in Steinhof. Readers are also treated to samples of Moser's paintings--landscapes, portraits and mythological scenes that are characterized by their extraordinary coloring. Enhanced with photographs, many never before published, from the artist's private life, this dazzling monograph presents the full range of Moser's contributions to the world of art and design.
