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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39799697375329,"sku":"9783777430720","price":9.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26966524.jpg?v=1723027961","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9783777430720-koloman-moser","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
