The literature and arts in Austria at the turn of the 19th century developed in the atmosphere of decadence. The Austrian-Hungarian monarchy was falling into a decline and paradoxically, at the same time, the art experienced a tremendous boost. Secession was the main style in architecture and painting as well as impressionism, symbolism and decadence in literature. All the fields of arts reflected the feelings of transition, decline, premonition of death. They gained their deepest expression in the poetry of Georg Trakl, in which the end of a certain historical and cultural formation combined itself with the feeling of self-destruction, one’s own annihilation.
