Otto Wagner: Architect of Modern Life cover

Otto Wagner: Architect of Modern Life

by

Around 1900, drawings from the studio of Otto Wagner (1841–1918) conveyed the vision of a future architecture freed from historical constraints and committed to “modern life”. Its formal language was defined not by past styles, but by the structures, materials and needs of the present. Compositionally sophisticated and technically elaborate, these works were an effective medium for Wagner’s pioneering artistic intentions. They are now considered masterpieces of architectural drawing.
