Excerpt from Moderne Architektur: Seinen Schülern ein Führer auf Diesem KunstgebieteEl Sind gute Vorbilder von Gegenstanden des Gebrauches auch heute schon ziemlich zahlreich und wurden in dieser Zeit auch schon grandiose Werke der Malerei ge schaffen, so fehlen uns doch solche Vor bilder beinahe ganz im Monumentalbau. Gerade diese aber sind es, welche die Ur teile der Laien über die Moderne zeitigen würden. [3 813 E] Da die Kunstler kraft ihrer Überzeu gung auch nach dem Siege nicht ruhen und mit bewundernswerter Ausdauer trotz aller Mißgunst kunstlerisch erzieherisch auf die Allgemeinheit einwirken, läßt sich erhoffen, daß auch diesbezuglich bald ein Schritt zum Ziele gemacht werde.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgotten Books

By the time Viennese architect Otto Wagner (1841-1918) began publishing the drawings included in this colouring book, he had already spent a great deal of his career designing buildings in the historicist style. But his attitude was changing, and in time he wholly disregarded those early designs. The images here, presented roughly chronologically, show the shifts he made throughout his career. He published these drawings as part of Einige Skizzen, Projekte und ausgefu¨hrte Bauwerk (Sketches, Projects and Executed Buildings), beginning in 1890 and ending with a posthumous fourth volume in 1922.
 Some one hundred years after Wagner's death, his mark can still be found throughout his hometown, in buildings that include the Church of St. Leopold (a.k.a. Kirche am Steinhof), the architect's two villas, and former railway buildings for the Stadtbahn. Drawings for those structures are among these images, but many of the others you will find here were never completed. Despite this, today Wagner is celebrated for his lasting contributions to the architectural spirit of Vienna.
