ABOUT THE COURSE

Signature Walking-Course based on the latest Klimt & Vienna around 1900-book `Der Kuss, die Liebe und das Universum (The Kiss, Love and the Universe)´ with the author, phd-art historian, Klimt, Vienna around 1900 expert & Avant-Garde expert. Take a journey back in time and experience the beginnings of Avant-Garde/Modern Art and of Vienna around 1900 and explore original artworks by important artists such as Klimt, Schiele, van Gogh, Monet, Munch, Hodler, Segantini and many others.
Meet your expert and gain a deeper understanding of the art of Vienna around 1900 and its major protagonists, including Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Josef Hoffmann and many others. In 1897, Klimt and fellow artists from the Vienna Künstlerhaus founded a new institution dedicated to the avant-garde: the Vienna Secession. Its members not only presented works by young and emerging artists from Vienna, but also introduced international art to the city, including works by leading Impressionists, Symbolists and early Expressionists such as Monet, Degas, Rodin, Munch, Hodler, Segantini and van Gogh. During the course, you will also encounter original works by many of these influential artists. We believe that a deeper understanding of art begins with experiencing the original. Your Ph.D. art historian will place the works in their historical and art-historical context. You will explore the academic traditions of the time, Historicism and Symbolism, as well as emerging movements such as Art Nouveau, Impressionism and early Expressionism—styles that often coexisted in dynamic tension around 1900. Although rooted in academic art history, this course is accessible to everyone—from complete beginners and passionate art lovers to more advanced learners.
