Cover Story: The above title cites Hans Tietze’s introductory essay for the 1930 exhibition of contemporary Austrian art in Warsaw. It emphasized Vienna’s role as a cultural hub at the crossroads of European artistic trends, aligning with the cultural diplomacy of Johannes Schober’s government, which promoted openness to other nations, particularly the Habsburg Empire’s successors. This article shows that this exhibition marked the peak of Polish–Austrian cultural relations during the interwar period and suggested potential for broader engagement. However, this potential did not materialize due to the nationalist policies of the Bundesstaat Österreich and Austria’s 1938 Anschluss to Germany. This article examines the exhibition’s rhetoric within the broader context of the challenging political and economic situation of postwar Austria. View this paper
