Jugendstil Walk 2

The second Jugendstil walk day was pretty much like the first: another 300 pix, some of Vienna's great public parks and monuments, some of the Naschmarkt, some from the Academy of Fine Arts, and even a few of the Jugendstil buildings we set forth to see. As with the previous walk's pix, I'll just post the Jugendstil items here, leaving the rest for separate posts. After nine days here, the "out-takes" folder is already bursting.

We decided this was a Jugendstil bridge over the Vienna River

The Vienna River--somewhat like the LA River, only far more
picturesque

The walk included several Otto Wagner subway station entrances;
think of Wagner as the Hector Guimard of Vienna

Interior

Not sure what this was...possibly not Jugendstil

All this only a few hundred meters from the city center

Klimt's Beethoven frieze left us cold, so we avoided...

The Secession Museum, which we'd seen in 2012

We're now doing the Naschmarkt (later posts), but noticing the
grand buildings lining the boulevard

Another

And now, the prize, the Linke Wienzeile buildings, both designed
by Wagner; sort of a Block of Discord

The Medallion House

Detail; Wagner sold the plan for these apartment buildings to the city
council with his famous "form follows function" dictum; which is
mystifying to us...

And the Majolika House, perhaps the most famous Jugendstil

And a neighbor, not Jugendstil, but pretty nonetheless;
with a caryatid, too
