Description and Table of Contents

Description

By around 1900 Weimar had already become an arena of Modernism. Around the cult surrounding Friedrich Nietzsche, colourful personalities like Harry Graf Kessler and Elisabeth Foerster-Nietzsche took up the idea of the New Man. Henry van de Velde looked to the future as he created a functional and elegant world in design and interiors. Succinct texts describe the beginnings of Modernism some twenty years before the Bauhaus.
