Aus Kultur- und Geisteswelt c. 1923

"Aus Kultur- und Geisteswelt" (From Culture and the World of Ideas) is a collage created by Austrian artist Karl Wiener, circa 1923. This vibrant and chaotic work features a multitude of cut-and-pasted images, showcasing a diverse range of subjects including fashion, advertising, and social life. The composition reflects the era's fascination with mass media and consumer culture, as well as the rise of modernism and its emphasis on fragmentation and juxtaposition. Wiener's collage technique and vibrant colors are a testament to the dynamism and anxieties of the early 20th century.
