There are so many different people who had a hand in creating protomodernism and the many movements that came with it. As a quick overview of what this style is all about can be summed up in saying it was a time of rejecting the historics, they were looking for something new. I feel they were almost acting in rebellion feeling less of the need for education and academics, focusing more on the arts and experimentation. This adds a younger, more free design.
Different Movements coming along with different designers and architects were very important in the creating of this style. The Deutscher Werkbund and the Vienna Secession were the most prominent movements of this time. The objective was to leave the past behind and to focus on things they were interested in such as:
art,
history, psychology and philosophy. These movements and this time were created by:Joseph Olbrich, Gustav Klimt, Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffman, and Koloman Moser. Without these key features and big players the style would never have advanced as much as it has.
