Stephen Smith explores how the development of the `jugendstil' aesthetic revolutionised the art and architecture of Vienna in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through the work of artists and designers including Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Egon Schiele, he explains how Viennese disciples of art nouveau rebelled against establishment ideas and sought to make their art socially relevant.
