Viennese kinetic art was developed in Franz Cizek’s course “Ornamental Forms” at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts in the 1920s as a melange of Cubist, Futurist, and Constructivist elements of style. His approach was radically abstract. The most important exponents of the movement – primarily women attending his course – were Erika Giovanna Klien, Elisabeth Karlinsky, and Maria/My Ullmann, all of whom would later go abroad.
