The Vienna Secession made worldwide advances in art, history, philosophy and psychology. There was a lot of interest in culture. Joseph Olbrich, Gustav Klimt, Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Joseph Hoffman and Kolomon Mosser were all designers of this period. The De Stijl Movement occurred in the Netherlands from 1917 o 1931. It focused on elementary shapes and vertical and horizontal lines. Gerrit Rietveld and Piet Mondrien impacted this movement the most. Frank Lloyd Wright was also a designer during Protomodernism.
