Obrist, Hermann (1862–1927). Swiss
Arts-and-Crafts designer influential in art and architecture before the 1914–18 war. He was the major figure in the establishment of the
Vereinigte Werkstätten (United Workshops) in Munich (1895), and his designs helped to promote
Art Nouveau. He was a particular influence on
Behrens and
Endell. He published
Neue Möglichkeiten in der bildenden Kunst (New Possibilities in the Graphic Arts—1903) and several significant contributions to the journals
Dekorative Kunst (Decorative Art). His designs for tombs and monuments from
c.1900 were early examples of
Expressionism.
