Koloman Moser

Koloman Moser (1868–1918) was one of the foremost artists of the Viennese Secession movement. His designs in architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries helped characterize the work of this era. Moser drew upon the clean lines and repetitive motifs of classical Greek and Roman art and architecture in reaction to the Baroque decadence of his turn-of-the-century Viennese surroundings. In 1903, Moser and his colleague Josef Hoffman founded the Wiener Werkstätte, whose workshops produced a number of aesthetically and functionally designed household goods, including glassware, flatware, silverware, and textiles.
