Overview
What you will study
- As a tottering Austro-Hungarian Empire worked at its decorative façade and high society waltzed on regardless, new impulses were simmering beneath the surface in fin-de-siècle Vienna.
- And we are not only referring here to Sigmund Freud: from Gustav Klimt’s thinly-veiled symbols of sexual energy and sinewy mortality to the angst-ridden art of Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele; from the theatrical splendour of institutional architecture to the clean lines of the sanatorium, there is plenty to analyse in the visual culture of early twentieth-century Vienna.
- This A Nervous State of Affairs - Art in Vienna, 1880-1938 course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art attends to wider cultural currents in the famous café circles: interdisciplinary talking shop of writers and intellectuals, composers, patrons and critics, many of Jewish heritage.
- And it explores the influence of women – beyond the ‘muse’ depicted as alternately decorative and dangerous.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Could one actually live in a Gesamtkunstwerk?
- Where is the line between the avant-garde embrace of modernity and an indulgent retreat from the real world?
- How far could such keen observers foresee the ultimate collapse of their small but vibrant artistic universe?
