JOSEF HOFFMANN, FOR J. & J. KOHN, CIRCA 1906

*Josef Hoffmann* and *Adolf Loos* were an integral part of a period during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when long-established viewpoints on the arts would be vehemently challenged. There was a drive to renounce traditional modes of thinking about art, design and architecture and to present a modern mindset. Aligned with this was a growing interest in an international art trend and the formation of outspoken artist groups that were often akin to political parties.
