arnold schoenberg (1874 – 1951)
Explore Arnold Schoenberg's revolutionary music – atonality, twelve-tone technique & influence on 20th-century composers. Discover his legacy at the Schönberg Center.
Arnold Schönberg Center (Vienna, Austria)
Discover the revolutionary musical archives of the Arnold Schönberg Center in Vienna, where you can explore original scores and a replica of the composer's study to experience the heart of Viennese Modernism.
This photograph is one of the few pictures that can be clearly assigned to Arnold Schönberg as a photographer on the basis of his own signature. He used a simple Kodak box camera; thus its technical limitations were pronounced – many of the photos were out of focus or wrongly exposed. Schönberg must have used a support very carefully for the portraits of his wife Mathilde inside the apartment (Berlin Zehlendorf, Machnower Chaussee & Dietloffstraße, Villa Lepcke) to attain their comparatively sharp focus.
