Publisher's Synopsis
From "Arcadia" to "Uncanny," explore the jewelry, furniture and decorative art designs of Viennese Modernism's most outlandish exponent
Dagobert Peche (1887-1923) blew apart the stylistic idiom of the famous Wiener Werkstätte; with his opulent decorations inspired by nature, he lent practical objects a hitherto unknown complexity. Divided into seven chapters, this publication follows Peche's legacy from Art Deco to postmodernism to the present day.
