Inspired by Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg’s 150th birthday, celebrated around the world, the new exhibition at the mdw’s Exilarte Center sheds light on the social and cultural environment of the founder of the Second Viennese School. In particular, attention is paid to Alexander Zemlinsky, who taught Sch\u00f6nberg and introduced him to the Viennese music circles, and to Richard Hoffmann, who was a pupil of Sch\u00f6nberg and later became his assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three personalities, their professional, friendly and musical connections as well as their fates during the time of the Nazi regime are brought closer using life documents, photos and music manuscripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countless other free spirits of the early 20th century from music, literature, fine arts and architecture as well as wealthy art lovers and patrons met for artistic exchange and lavish festivals in the artists’ colony planned by Josef Hoffmann in what was already the posh 19th district of Vienna. Most of them had Jewish roots and were persecuted by the Nazis. Many were able to emigrate, many died in the concentration camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dazzling personalities such as Alma Mahler-Werfel, Gustav Mahler, Carl Moll, Koloman Moser, Hugo Henneberg, Sigmund Freud, Egon and Emmy Wellesz, Emil and Yella Hertzka, Richard Gerstl, Adolf Loos and Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg inspired one another in this Art Nouveau villa colony, which will be recreated as a model for the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
