Design in Fin de Siecle Vienna Koloman Moser (1868-1918) was something akin to a one-man aesthetic movement, propelling decorative art and design in a fresh direction with his talent and sheer energy. He was a peerless designer of nearly everything, in two dimensions or three: furniture and wallpaper; art glass and porcelain; literature, lamps textiles, jewelry, artistic pasta, modernist bread, and socially progressive women's fashions. He cofounded the Vienna Sucession and the Wiener Werkstatte; he is called "the father of modern graphic art." And he accomplished all this in a life spanning only fifty years. At once delicate and dynamic, thirty examples of Moser's suave designs for wall coverings and textiles appear in this book of postcards. Published with Historical Design Incoporated. Contains 30 oversized color postcards. Size: 4 3/4 x 6 7/8". ISBN 0-7649-2797-3. |
