In reaction to Vienna's growing industrialization at the turn of the 20th century, various artistic movements in Austria decided to come together and focus their art on sensuality, beauty, and the handmade. Two groups specifically — Vienna’s New Secession and Wiener Werkstätte — were right in the epicenter of this new passionate trend. This is the story of Vienna's rebellious art and artists of the 1900s and their lasting legacy on the art world.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore Vienna's art revolution of the 1900s that countered Austria's growing industrialization movement, and the eccentric artists who led the movement's most prominent groups.

Led by Sylvia Laudien-Meo — art historian, museum educator, and NYC tour guide — this virtual journey through Vienna art will include:

- The new evolving artistic style of the Vienna Secession and Wiener Werkstätte (a productive cooperative of artisans in Vienna, Austria)
- Gustav Klimt’s leading role as a portrait painter and capturing the modern sensuous woman, including the ‘Lady in Gold’
- Klimt’s intriguing relationship with Emilie Flöge — muse, fashion designer, and jewelry model
- A close look at the era’s new jewelry and fashion , specifically the ‘Reform Dress’ and Flöge Sisters’ salon
- A deep dive into Oskar Kokoschka’s personal life and art , from his passionate love affair with Alma Mahler (widow of famous composer Gustav Mahler) to his various innovative contributions to the new art movement
- Egon Schiele’s revolutionary sensuous painting style , which landed him in jail
- Women artists’ fantastic contributions to fashions, ceramic arts, and much more

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Sylvia — any and all questions about Vienna's revolutionary art and artists are welcomed and encouraged!

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-gesamtkunstwerk-movement-part-iii-architecture-as-artifact-webinar-registration-231031871547

As the 19th century progressed, new forms of architectural expression were created in the face of the advancing Industrial Age as concerns with the perceived sterility of new buildings mounted. This search for a new type of architecture, where aesthetics took priority over profit-making, led to a design movement known as the Gesamtkunstwerk — "total work of art" in German — which attempted to synthesize all parts of a building to a single artistic whole. Who were the first architects to adopt this approach, and what buildings throughout the world featuring this unique design style still exist today? It's time to explore the history and impact of one of architecture's most influential movements.

Join New York Adventure Club for our three-part series on The Gesamtkunstwerk Movement and its influence over 180 years of building, which features some of the most astonishing landmarks in human history. In Part Three — Architecture as Artifact — we'll visit the great pre and post-war landmarks that defined architecture as a free-standing form in space.

Led by architectural historian David V. Griffin of Landmark Branding , this digital showcase featuring a selection of unique structures will include:

-The results of the Expressionist movement , which sought to explore architecture as a sculptural platform
-The rise of Modernism and the International Style in Germany, Russia, Italy, and the United States
-Experimental building methods and new technological systems
-An in-depth look at each building's construction, context, and current status, with a focus on how culture and innovation drive architectural symbolism

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with David — any and all questions about these unique buildings are welcomed and encouraged!

Did you know that the first photographic fashion layout in a magazine was instigated because of a dare? Fashion photography has come a long way since its introduction at the turn of the 20th century, but only thanks to a cadre of incredible photographers throughout the generations who've pushed the limits of technical capabilities and creativity. From mastering the staged photoshoot to capturing fashion "in the wild" on crowded city streets, it's time to explore the world of fashion photography starting from its humble beginnings.

Join New York Adventure Club for the second of a two-part series surrounding the art of fashion photography — in Part II , we'll explore the evolution of fashion photography between the late 20th century to present day, through the lens of DSLR cameras and photo software that allowed fashion photographers to achieve new creative heights.

-A deep dive into the transition of film photography to the digital age , thanks to a suite of revolutionary new tools
