Schönberg’s intellectual and artistic physiognomy was honed not insignificantly in dialog with others who are exemplary of the aesthetic diversity of Vienna as a whole around 1900 in their personal heterogeneity: Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, Albert Paris Gütersloh, Adolf Loos. Interaction with Der Blauer Reiter (The Blue Rider) from 1911, with Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter at its heart, proves productive for discourse on aesthetics. Schönberg’s progressive contemporaries found him the ideal type of a modern artist who rejected normative claims of validity and did not reduce artworks to compliance with certain formal aspects. The determination of a common aesthetic basis leads to the identification of inner processes, inner images.
