Your turn #6

Gustav Klimt, Woman in Gold, 1907

Hi class.

We're already in Twentieth-Century-earth. But the end of Nineteenth-Century was intense. 

We talked in detail about the Vienna Secession and its subsequent step, The Wiener Werkstätte (Germany and Austria's answer to England's Arts and Crafts movement), plus the Deutscher Werkbund.  

Plus, there are other topics, Expressionism's graphic arts and movies, Die Brücke, Der Blaue Reiter, Bruno Taut's Glass Dome, Henry Van de Velde (here's the video of Hohenhof House), Marcelo Dudovich, Peter Behrens, Josef Hofmann's Stoclet Palace. Don't forget Symbolism.

Avoid the echo chamber. Please don't repeat a theme already in the comment thread.
