FLORALS IN FLUX: Abstract, Stylized, Naturalistic

Around 1900, floral motifs spread conspicuously throughout the work of Viennese architects and decorators. Not even the Wiener Werkstätte and the graduates of the Vienna Academy of Applied Arts resisted the trend of investigating the folk arts of the Austrian crown lands and their ornaments, which began in 1907. However, they developed an individual, unmistakable style, which is contrasted with movements in European art that appeared at the same time.
