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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730436063520,"sku":"NEW0300111207","price":91.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ytYIJUG_L.jpg?v=1779431217","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/art-design-and-architecture-in-central-europe-1890-1920-the-yale-university-press-pelican-history-of-art-series-0300111207","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
