Vienna

Description

Telling a tale of scandal and revolution, in this program cultural correspondent Stephen Smith discusses how Gustav Klimt and other groundbreaking artists brought their own highly erotic version of Art Nouveau to Vienna. Smith discovers that Viennese Jugendstil was more than just a decorative delight as artists strove to infuse the new style with social meaning. Revealing the design genius of Josef Hoffmann, the graphic work of Koloman Moser, and the emergence of the enfant terrible Egon Schiele, Smith unpacks the stories behind a style that burned brightly but briefly at the end of the 19th century.
