It is so good to post a diverse range of photography exhibitions on Art Blart. Here we have some interesting early street photographs of Vienna, images that I have never seen before.
No bibliographic information was included with the media press kit, not even the nationality of the photographers, so I have added as much information as I could find online about the artists.
Many thankx to the Wien Museum for allowing me to publish the photographs in the posting. Please click on the photographs for a larger version of the image. Owing to his work as a freelance photographer as well as to his various commissions, he has left behind a multi-faceted oeuvre comprising not only landscape-, architecture-, and portrait photography but also street photography Scenes from the Naschmarkt, as well as photographs documenting exhibitions Vienna Secession.
August Stauda b. July 19, in Schurz , Bohemia ; d. Stauda first completed an apprenticeship as a clerk in Trautenau, worked as such in Pilsen and came to Vienna in to do military service. From he was a sworn expert. During the First World War he had to file for bankruptcy. Stauda was married but had no children.
He was particularly interested in those parts of the city that underwent significant urban planning changes around the turn of the century, especially parts of the 2nd, 3rd and 9th districts. While the appearance of the city centre at that time is still recognisable today, the contemporary pictures of Mariahilfer Strasse or Neulerchenfelder Strasse show how the passage of time has also changed the city.
