More sculptual work by Franz Metzner for a building whose interiors are in that ponderous Teutonic style which resembles designs for a fantasy film.<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing the delve into back numbers of Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration<\/em>, the German periodical of art and decoration. Volume 20<\/a> covers the period from April 1907 to September 1907, and this is where this fascinating publication starts to run out of steam. A few more editions are worth looking at but after volume 25 the content collapses into the same welter of excessively dull genre painting and academic work that was plaguing Jugend<\/em> magazine at this time. More about that later.<\/p>\n

As usual, anyone wishing to see these samples in greater detail is advised to download the entire number at the Internet Archive. There’ll be more DK&D<\/em> next week.<\/p>\n

Gustav Klimt’s work makes another appearance at a Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte exhibition. It’s a strange thing today seeing Klimt’s portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer<\/a> (above and below) placed in a corner like any other painting, flanked by a pair of unassuming sculptures by Belgian Symbolist George Minne. The Klimt made headlines in 2006 by selling for $135 million which would no doubt astonish everyone connected with the exhibition. Beyond this it’s a surprise seeing Klimt and Minne (whose work features in a later edition) being shown together.<\/p>\n
