Kolomann Moser
|
(March 30, 1868 – October 18, 1918) was
an Austrian
artist who exerted considerable influence on twentieth-century
graphic art and one of the foremost artists of the Vienna Secession
movement and a co-founder of Wiener Werkstätte.
During his life, Moser designed a wide array of art works -
books and graphic works from postage stamps to magazine vignettes;
fashion; stained glass windows, porcelains and ceramics, blown
glass, tableware, silver, jewelry, and furniture - to name a
few of his interests.

Bildbeschreibung
Kolomann Moser
1. Floral motif, ca. 1903. thinned oil paint in Tunkpapiertechnik
hand-made paper. Ca. 34 x 31 cm (sheet 47 x 35,5cm). Because of it's
fagile and demaged paper it's fixed on hand-made paper. Beginning
with 1901 Kolomann Moser made a couple of these works, mainly small
animals, like fishes or fairytales' creatures. Quite close to abstraction
are his floral motifs.
2."Flaechenschmuck" (fabric designs).
12 lithos. Most of them are fabric designs for furniture. From 1901
and each one has the estate stamp (Nachlass Koloman Moser) on the
backside.
