	Elena Canadelli :: nota su Hermann Obrist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Hermann Obrist (Kilchberg 1863 - Monaco 1927), artista-artigiano, disegnatore e scultore, attivo soprattutto a Monaco di Baviera, fu uno degli esponenti dello Jugendstil che più rimase affascinato dai primitivi organismi marini e vegetali descritti da Haeckel nelle Kunstformen der Natur.
		Figlio di un'aristocratica scozzese e di un medico svizzero, Obrist, come altri artisti dell'epoca, prima di dedicarsi agli studi d'arte aveva ricevuto una formazione scientifica, assolvendo a Heidelberg studi di scienze naturali, botanica e medicina e confrontandosi già in gioventù con le teorie evoluzionistiche di Darwin e Haeckel.
		Obrist influenzò molto le arti applicate del XX secolo, non solo dal punto di vista pratico ma anche teorico, con il saggio Neue Möglichkeiten in der bildenden Kunst (1903).

		As did their counterparts elsewhere in Europe, Secession designers rejected historical styles; but in Vienna they expressed this through an increasing simplification of form.
		Rather than embracing the writhing organic forms of Endell or Obrist in Munich, Viennese artists moved towards the restrained geometric designs exemplified by the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
		The art nouveau movement in Spain is best exemplified in the work of Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudí y Cornet, whose designs represent a highly personal response to the art nouveau ideas of his time.

	Paul Wegener: Frühe Moderne im Film by Heide Schönemann
		Schönemann's detailed description of architect Hans Poelzig's plans, and the analysis of the narrative meanings encapsulated in every building, the streets and the interior elements (stairs, balconies, windows and arches) are a model of textual analysis in the language of architectural style and plastic forms.
		Embedded into her account of the provenance of the film's formal repertoire are biographical vignettes, such as Poelzig's use of a spiral motif ascribed to Hermann Obrist, a vegetal door frame cross-referenced to the Finnish architect Saarinen, or her discussion of a tomb in Dresden designed by Max Taut and decorated by Otto Freundlich.
		It is a story which suddenly opens up into a brief but harrowing account of racial persecution and violent death.
