Devoted entirely to the concept of the total work of art, he designed—alongside a wide range of buildings—interior furnishings, gardens, a variety of practical and decorative objects, and graphic presentations. In several architecture exhibitions—including the world’s first-ever architecture exhibition, mounted at the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt in 1901—he achieved impressive ensembles that became influential in urban planning. While he lived, his comrades-in-arms and colleagues included Gustav Klimt, Hermann Bahr, and Peter Behrens, and after his death he remained an essential source of inspiration for architects like Bruno Taut, Erich Mendelsohn, and Le Corbusier.\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: GrotesqueMTStd; mso-bidi-font-family: GrotesqueMTStd\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003cFONT face=Arial\u003eA great figure of renewal in architecture and everyday design, Joseph Maria Olbrich left a fin-de-siècle legacy that reveals him to have been a decisive reformist artist in early modernism.
