Description

Meeting point in front of the entrance to the Leopold Museum, 1070 Vienna. Walking tour through the 4th and 3rd floor - or a special exhibition Duration: 1.5 hours Elegant and radical: Klimt and Schiele are the protagonists of Viennese Modernism. In addition, the Leopold Museum analyzes (mostly) Austrian artists in special exhibitions. You have the opportunity to arrange the Highlights Tour on the 4th and 3rd floors according to your wishes or to walk through the respective special exhibition with me. I will tell you the most important secrets of Klimt, Schiele and their colleagues. We'll talk about the development of Klimt's style and answer the question of why his paintings are so expensive. Do you already know how many children Klimt had - and which of them inherited his talent? The VIENNA SECESSION is just as much a topic as the VIENNA WORKSHOP. The next generation, represented by KOKOSCHKA, GERSTL and SCHIELE, revolutionized art with radical approaches: instead of elegance, there was now experimentation, flowing harmony was replaced by radicalism, and the earthly paradise took on an autumnal hue. The First World War ushered in the most radical changes, as the most important representatives of Viennese Modernism died at its end.
