Koloman Moser
Koloman Moser (1868-1918) studied at the Akademie der bildenden Künst (1886-1892) and the at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna (1893-1895). He began as an illustrator for the satirical magazine Meggendorfer Blätter in München. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession in 1897 and later the artistic director for the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903. He taught at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna until his death. Kolo LP (1996, Garrett Boge and Paul Shaw) was inspired by and named after Koloman Moser. Similarly, we find PiS Lietz Germion (2013), a rounded script in the style of Viennese Jugendstil about which its designer, Hannes Siengalewicz writes: Kolo Moser is dancing an absinthe infused poster-polka! You should too!. Vienna Workshop (2012) by David Kerkhoff is an art nouveau typeface based on some of the artwork produced by Vienna Workshop artists, in particular that of Koloman Moser. |
