Description
-
Following the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the Wiener Werkstätte felt compelled to offer objects in a “patriotic style.” In this respect, the glass industry’s creations were subtler and less martial than was the case elsewhere. The glasses by Dagobert Peche, for example, clearly refrain from taking up the rah-rah patriotism that Karl Kraus immortalized in The Last Days of Humanity (1918). But war glasses did, nonetheless, become an important part of the Wiener Werkstätte’s offerings until the collapse of the monarchy in 1918. Alongside Peche, female students of the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts not called into war service—such as Helena Gabler and Kitty Rix—also designed decors in enamel paint. Peche was eventually appointed artistic director of the Wiener Werkstätte branch that was opened in neutral Switzerland in 1918, Wiener Werkstätte AG, Zurich, which he was to lead with respect to designing, product offerings and interior decorating until 1921.
