One of Moser's most famous works was his 1899 cover for Ver Sacrum magazine. In 1903, Moser and his colleague Josef Hoffmann founded Wiener Werkstätte, whose studios and artisans produced a number of aesthetically and functionally designed household goods, including glassware, flatware, silverware, and textiles. 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. His designs in architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries helped characterize the work of this era.
He studied at the Wiener Akademie and the Kunstgewerbeschule, where he also taught from 1899. Koloman Moser (March 30, 1868–October 18, 1918) was an Austrian artist who exerted an incomparable influence on twentieth-century graphic art and one of the foremost artists of the Vienna Secession movement and a co-founder of Wiener Werkstätte.ĭuring his life, Moser designed an astounding array of art works - books and graphic works from postage stamps to magazine vignettes fashion stained glass windows, porcelains and ceramics, blown glass, tableware, silver, jewelry, and furniture - to name a few of his interests.
