"Admired by contemporaries as an artistic ""jack - of - all - trades"",

Koloman Moser (1868 - 1918) is regarded today as one of the

most important representatives of the Viennese Secession of

around 1900. As a graphic artist and designer Moser was

unparalleled in his artistic diversity, creating furniture, textiles,

and objects

- for the Wiener Werkstätte among others

- that

are icons of Modernism, as well as leaving behind an impressive

oeuvre of paintings.

A group of progressive artists, including Koloman M oser,

founded ""The Association of Visual Artists of Austria,

Secession"" under the leadership of Gustav Klimt in 1897.

Moser in particular is considered the outstanding graphic artist

of the Secession, thanks to his design of posters, exhibition

concepts, a nd of the journal Ver Sacrum. He was the ideal

master for the formation of the Gesamtkunstwerk ""Vienna

circa 1900"", hardly surpassed in imagination and productivity.

He applied his incredible virtuosity and inexhaustible fantasy to

a variety of materials.

In 1903 Moser founded, together with

Josef Hoffmann and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, the

""Wiener Werkstätte"" [Viennese Workshops]. The close

cooperation between the designing artists and the master

craftsmen allowed a completely new level of qualit y of to be

attained in artisan craftwork. After 1907 Koloman Moser

concentrated on painting once more. This publication presents

exceptional examples of his art, drawn primarily from the

Leopold Collection and situating them in a biographical and art

histo rical context."
