	Josef Hoffmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Josef Hoffmann with his creative power and, above all, his feeling for design, played a major part in the shaping of the aesthetic perception and aesthetic understanding of the 20th century.
		Josef Hoffmann (born in 1870 in Pirnitz, Moravia) and Adolf Loos (1870-1933) both came from that same area.
		Hoffmann's turn away from the sweeping curves of Art Nouveau and his turn towards simpler forms has to be seen in the historic context of moving away from the floral Jugendstil, which started to spread in Europe around 1900 and went along with the renaissance of classical ideals.

	Josef Hoffmann and the Architectural Clock
		Hoffmann, who beyond the notorious ideology of the Secession had extended himself with the founding of the Werkstätte, found his brilliant sensuality more than his dialectical instincts to be his natural avenue of realization.
		Hoffmann’s work has that quality, and it is the sensitivity and the capacity to produce and make it work that has made Hoffmann an indispensable figure in that generation between the past and the future—a generation that so beautifully extended the art of architecture and the design of objects.
		Hoffmann represented the previous generation, particularly to those who espoused the canonical doctrine of the moderns as a moralistic stance.

	Josef Hofmann
		Josef Hofmann was one of the greatest piano prodigies in music history.
		His early concert schedule was interrupted by a humanitarian who paid his father a substantial sum to postpone Josef's travels until the boy matured.
		Although Hofmann later remarked that he didn't mind giving performances as a child, a common outgrowth of "prodigism," (a term coined by violinist Jascha Heifetz) is burnout, stunted emotional development, or both.

	HOFFMANN, Josef HOFFMANN biography by Senses-ArtNouveau.com
		Josef Hoffmann studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria, under Art Nouveau architect Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture profoundly influenced his works, and in 1896 he joined his office.

		Josef Hoffmann's designs before 1900 incorporated the curvilinear, organic motifs common to the then-fashionable Jugendstil and Art Nouveau styles.
		With the turn of the century, however, he abruptly abandoned them for a revolutionary new approach based on geometry, of which this tea service is an outstanding example.
		Hoffmann, however, has integrated them with forms of uncompromising austerity: straight sides, domed lids, and squared-off handles.
