SUMMARY
The Vienna Jubilee Exhibition of 1898 provided the occasion for these remarkable essays by the Austrian architect, theorist, and irreverent critic of his own culture, Adolf Loos. The rational underpinnings of his later accusation that "ornament is crime," first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of Viennese sucessionists Joseph Hoffmann, Otto Wagner, Hermann Obrist, and Gustav Klimt, among others.Loos, Adolf is the author of 'Spoken into the Void: Collected Essays by Adolf Loos, 1897-1900', published 1987 under ISBN 9780262620574 and ISBN 026262057X.
