Morand noted that modern fashion shows - with their elaborate sets, live performers and other collaborators - approach Klimt’s idea of “gesamtkunstwerk” or “total artwork,” while architect and designer Josef Hoffmann, who also gets his own chapter, was adamant about the links between creativity and the workshop. “While it didn’t have a monopoly on it, many things happened in Vienna.”Īnd fashion is hardly estranged from the movement, which continues to inspire designers. “The genesis of this book was to understand the origins of modernity,” Morand explained, sounding every bit the professor. Prior to that, he was director general of the Institut Français de la Mode and former dean of business school ESCP Europe. “Part of my career has been in academia, so it’s part of my identity - and this book was a pleasure to write,” he related.īefore joining the Fédération in 2015, Morand was deputy director general of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Paris region.

Klinger was Jewish, and didn’t manage to escape to his beloved America he was prevented from working after 1938, and was killed in Belarus in 1942. I always find myself wondering how the artists fared during the storm of Nazism and war that would bear down on them in the following decade. ![]() This is a great book even if it provokes the melancholy thoughts that tend to arise when looking at something bright and inventive from Austria or Germany in the 1920s. Klinger’s earlier illustration work was very much in the post-Beardsley style, albeit with a similar cartoon-like approach, so there’s a trace of Beardsley still present in some of the figures. The Schwarcz poster is very typical of the Klinger style, with bold shapes, bright inks, spiky serifs and cartoon-like drawings. The same design appears in Poster Art in Vienna (1923), an introduction to work from the Julius Klinger school of poster art which seems to have been produced to promote the work of the Klinger artists (and Klinger himself) in the USA. ![]() Schwarcz’s poster had been reworked as a cover for The Motion Demon, a collection of Grabinski’s rail stories, and I wanted to see the original.
