Josef Hoffmann (architect)

Josef Hoffmann (1902)

Josef Franz Maria Hoffmann (born December 15, 1870 in Pirnitz , Moravia , Austria-Hungary ; † May 7, 1956 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect and designer . With Koloman Moser he was a founding member and one of the main representatives of the Wiener Werkstätte .

Life

Kubus -Fauteuil (1910), produced in 2010

Josef Hoffmann came from a wealthy family, his family was involved in the princely Collalto 's calico factory and his father was mayor of Brtnice / Pirnitz in the Jihlava / Iglau district in Moravia. He was originally supposed to become a lawyer at the request of his father, but felt more drawn to technology, whereupon his understanding parents sent him to the State Trade School in Brno , from where he got excellent grades.

Afterwards he worked at the military building department in Würzburg , after which he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Karl von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner . In Wagner's office he met Joseph Maria Olbrich , with whom he founded the Vienna Secession in 1897 , an artists' association which he left with Gustav Klimt and others in 1905 .

His early architectural work, based on simple cubic forms, had probably received his first inspiration in southern Italy, as he had been honored with the Prix ​​de Rome of the Academy at the end of his architecture studies and lived in Italy for a year. Here, the cubic houses with their flat roofs and smooth facades had impressed him very much.

Josef Hoffmann for the Scheibbs clay industry , 1920s

With the banker Fritz Wärndorfer and the painter Koloman Moser he founded the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903 , for which he designed many products. From 1899 he was a teacher at the Vienna School of Applied Arts . In the interwar period he also designed designs for Scheibbs' sound industry .

Hoffmann was a member of the Masonic Lodge "Die Treue".

In 1906 he built his first major plant, the sanatorium in Purkersdorf . Through contacts with Adolphe Stoclet , who sat on the supervisory board of the Austro-Belgian Railway Company , which operated the Aspang Railway in Austria , the Palais Stoclet with the Stoclet frieze designed by Gustav Klimt was created from 1905 to 1911 as the main work of art of the Viennese Secessionism in Brussels . The building has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the end of June 2009 . In 1907 Hoffmann was a co-founder of the German Werkbund , in 1912 of the Austrian Werkbund . 1913–1915, another major work was the Villa Skywa-Primavesi in Vienna 13., Gloriettegasse 18 .; In 1914 he built the Austrian House at the Cologne Werkbund exhibition .

As a result, his style became more and more sober, whereby he was increasingly limited to functional buildings. Hoffmann welcomed the "Anschluss" of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938 , because he hoped the new regime would bring an economic upswing and the revival of his architectural practice.

Although he himself was defamed and marginalized as a “degenerate decorative artist” by the Nazi architectural ideologist Paul Schmitthenner , those in power of the time were interested in exploiting Hoffmann's fame as an instrument. Even though the resulting drafts did contain symbols of the dictatorship, he still did not follow the official Nazi aesthetic from an artistic point of view.

According to his plans, the embassy palace of the German embassy on Rennweg in Vienna was rebuilt from 1938 to 1945 and the building was used as a branch of the Foreign Office as well as the "House of the Wehrmacht" and officers' home. In 1957/1958 it was demolished due to severe bomb damage. A silver jug ​​made according to Hoffmann's design in 1940/1942 is ornamented with oak leaves , swords and swastika .

After the Second World War , Hoffmann took on various official tasks, such as the Austrian General Commissioner at the Venice Biennale and membership in the Austrian Art Senate . In 1950 he founded the Federation of Modern Visual Artists of Austria together with Albert Paris Gütersloh .

Hoffmann was married twice. In 1903 he married Anna Hladik (* 1880) and had their son Wolfgang (1900–1969), who also became an architect. The marriage ended in divorce in 1922. In 1925 he married Carla (Karla) Schmatz (* 1894), who was previously a mannequin at the Wiener Werkstätte. As a widow, Carla Hoffmann entrusted Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten with the rights for her husband's designs. Wittmann began to reproduce Hoffmann furniture in the 1970s, including models such as Fledermaus , Purkersdorf , Haus Koller , Armlöffel and the famous Kubus . Hoffmann's lamp designs have been handcrafted by the Viennese company WOKA since the 1970s with a license from the Josef Hoffmann Foundation.

In 2007 the Austrian Post dedicated a special stamp to him, a detail from the necklace designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1916. The jewel is now in the holdings of the Museum of Applied Arts, MAK Vienna . In 1987 the MAK organized an exhibition about Josef Hoffmann entitled Josef Hoffmann: Ornament between Hope and Crime . After a MAK exhibition on Josef Hoffmann in 1992 in his birthplace in Brtnice / Pirnitz in the Czech Republic, contacts with the Moravian Gallery in Brno were intensified. Since 2006, both institutions have been running the building on an equal footing as the joint branch of the Josef Hoffmann Museum . The museum presents a permanent collection and also changing exhibitions on Josef Hoffmann and his contemporaries are organized. The MAK Vienna maintains a large collection of works by the Wiener Werkstätte and thus also by Josef Hoffmann. Some of Josef Hoffmann's works are publicly accessible online at the MAK Collection .

Hoffmann lived for a long time at Schleifmühlgasse 3 in the 4th district. In 1939 he moved to an apartment at Salesianergasse 33 in the 3rd district, near the Lower Belvedere. He died there on May 7, 1956. Two days later the social democratic Arbeiter-Zeitung wrote that the last living co-founder of the Vienna Secession had passed away; he revolutionized the Austrian arts and crafts as well as architecture . Hoffmann was still involved in the selection of Austrian works of art for this year's Venice Biennale a few weeks before his death . He headed the architecture class at the Academy of Applied Arts for almost four decades. His life's work has already gone down in the history of the art of our century .

Honorary grave of Josef Hoffmann at the Vienna Central Cemetery

The City of Vienna dedicated an honorary grave to him in the Vienna Central Cemetery (group 14 C, number 20). Fritz Wotruba created the tombstone .
In Purkersdorf the Josef-Hoffmann-Gasse is named after him.
