Franz Cižek (1865-1946) is considered an outstanding reformer of art education. His Viennese youth art classes, which he founded in 1897 in close proximity to the Viennese Secessionists, became the center of a reform movement with lasting international impact. The appreciation and encouragement of children's creativity, which was able to develop in a supportive, enthusiastic environment, shook the authoritarian regulatory concepts of public education. Cižek's practical artistic work with children and his very successful exhibitions in Great Britain and the USA were noticed and carried forward to the present day, by Maria Montessori and the English Child Art movement as well as, to this day, by reform movements in Canada and the USA. - - Binding a bit rubbed. - LKJ I, 264; Stuckvilla I, 320.
