Arthur Schnitzler und die bildende Kunst

Arthur Schnitzler’s relationships to the visual arts are examined for the first time systematically and in source-based special studies in the fourteen articles in this volume. Schnitzler’s staging of authorship in portrait art and photography, his aesthetic preferences in the acquisition of art objects as well as on trips and during visits to museums, references to art and quotations in Schnitzler’s stories and dramas, and his significant participation in the art of book design of the modern age are discussed. It ranges from productive collaborations with well-known contemporary book and cover artists to posthumous visual art adaptations of his work in current graphic novels.
