{"product_id":"art-design-and-architecture-in-central-europe-1890-1920","title":"Art, Design, and Architecture in Central Europe 1890-1920","description":"In this unprecedentedly wide-ranging account of art, design, and architecture in the complex Central Europe of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during its momentous last decades, Elizabeth Clegg achieves a forceful integration of political and cultural developments. Comparing the situation in eight cities--among them Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Cracow, and Zagreb--the author highlights contrasts, rivalries, parallels, and interconnections across this colorful and important region. The book deals with all the chief ethnic\/national categories of Austria-Hungary and embraces all the visual arts. Focusing on their public display, appraisal, and consumption, Clegg shows how the harmonious\/antagonistic coexistence of institutions, publications, and events gave rise to the dynamic art life of a period that would end in a turning point for Central Europe. As vividly revealed, this was a time and place marked by a simultaneous fear and celebration of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity that has enormous international resonance a century later.\u003cspan class=\"booksy-isbn-search\" style=\"position:absolute;left:-9999px;width:1px;height:1px;overflow:hidden;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eISBN: 9780300111200\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Plegg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56566091612546,"sku":"9780300111200","price":175.99,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1500\/6850\/files\/B1186825.jpg?v=1776317674","url":"https:\/\/www.booksy.ro\/products\/art-design-and-architecture-in-central-europe-1890-1920","provider":"Booksy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
