Kirk Vamedoe's text synthesizes many of the new insights that have stemmed from the remarkable surge of intellectual and popular interest in tum-of-the-century Vienna since the 1960s. Taking into account modem and postmodern assessments of Vienna's arts, he offers a fresh critical evaluation. The rich, complex, and often problematic legacy of a unique time and place is arrestingly set forth in word and image, and considered in relation to the broader currents of early modem art. 264 pp.; 354 illus.
