Art, Design and Architecture In Central Europe 1890-1920

In this wide-ranging survey of art, design, and architecture in the Central Europe of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during its momentous last decades, Elizabeth Clegg interleaves fluctuating political and cultural developments. Comparing the situation in eight cities-Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Cracow, Zagreb, Ljubjana, Brno, and Lemberg-the author highlights contrasts, rivalries, parallels, and interconnections across this wildly varied region. As Clegg vividly reveals, this was a time and place marked by a simultaneous fear and celebration of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity, with enormous international resonance a century later.'Erudite and comprehensive, Art, Design, and Architecture in Central Europe ...
