Vienna 1908

Dr James Fox tells the story of Vienna in 1908, when Klimt painted The Kiss and Freud revealed the Oedipus complex, but also when Adolf Hitler arrived in the city.

Dr James Fox tells the story of Vienna in 1908, a city of amazing creativity and dangerous tension. 1908 was the year Gustav Klimt painted his masterpiece The Kiss, Sigmund Freud revealed the Oedipus complex, Egon Schiele produced startling pictures of humanity stripped to the bare essentials and both music and architecture took a bold step in a radical new direction. But it was also the year that a struggling young artist named Adolf Hitler arrived in the city, a year that put Vienna and Europe on the road to destruction.
