Vienna-Berlin The Art Of Two Cities From Schiele To Grosz

Exhibition at the Berlinische Gallery, Berlin, 24 October 2013 - 27 January 2014;
at the Belvedere, Vienna, 14 February - 15 June 2014

From the beginning of the 20th century to the period between the two world wars, Berlin and Vienna witnessed an explosion of artistic productivity and experimentation.

This publication is the first to compare and contrast the artistic traditions in Berlin and Vienna during the birth of the Modernist movement. Featuring works by Schiele, Hausmann, Hoffmann, Kokoschka, Dix, Grosz, Liebermann, Kirchner, and others, this volume documents how two very different cities developed artistic traditions that were unique to their individual cultures, while at the same time borrowing from each other's accomplishments.
