Written at the height of the arts and crafts movement in fin-de-siecle Vienna, Alois Reigl's Stilfragen represented a turning point in defining art and understanding the sources of tis inspiration. Demonstrating an uninterrupted continunity in the history of ornament from the ancient Egyptian through the Islamic period, Riegl argued that the creative urge minifests itself in both |great art| and the most humble artifact, and that change is an inherent part of style. This new translation, which renders Riegl's seminal work in contemporary, readable prose, allows for a fresh reexamination of his thought in light of current revisionist debate. His discovery of infinite variation in the restatement of several decorative motifs--the palmette, rosette, tendril--led Riegl to believe that art is completely independent from exterior conditions and is beyond individual volition. This thinking laid the groundowrk for his famous concept of Kunstwollen, or artistic intention. |Something that the translation will, I hope, convey, is the passion invsted in Riegl's enterprise. We are mde to feel that the issues he discussed mattered vitally to him; it was the very nature of art and its relation to human life that were at stake, art as an absolute necessity.| --From the preface of Henri Zerner Alois Reigl (1858-1905) was Curator of Textiles at the Museum of Art and Industry in Vienna during most of his career and wrote many influential works on the histoyr of art, including Spatromische Kunstgeschichte.
