Admired by contemporaries as an artistic jack-of-all-trades, Koloman Moser (18681918) 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 Moser, 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, and of the journal Ver Sacrum. He was the ideal master for the formation of the Gesamtkunstwerk Vienna circa 1900. In 1903 Moser founded, together with Josef Hoffmann and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, the Wiener Werkstätte [Viennese Workshops].
