The aim is to provide extensive knowledge and deeper understanding of the topic

After the education at Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna (today University of Applied Arts) Gustav Klimt founded together with his brother Ernst and Franz Matsch the Künstler-Compagnie which equiped considerable Theaters of the Austro–Hungarian Monarchy with paintings and decorations. The relation of painting and applied arts is of lifelong interest for Klimt. The turn around from Historicism to Art Nouveau sets the crucial step to an international networking movement. The faculty paintings and the scandal show the ruptures in society and art scenes. The contacts to Emilie Flöge who pushes arts and crafts and fashion, to Wiener Werkstätte and to the writer Hermann Bahr and others shed light on the relations between the arts. The foundation of the Secession Vienna, of the journal Ver Sacrum and the devotion to Raumkunst as artistic design in its entirety reveal tendencies to get into all spheres of life
