by Moser, Koloman
In the 1890s, a group of young German and Austrian artists-tired of painting historical anecdotes and mythological themes-rebelled against what they considered the restrictive environment of official art academies and expressed themselves in a style that came to be known as Secessionsstil. Among these painters who sought the freedom to work unimpeded in such modern styles as Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau was Koloman Moser. This collection of his stunning designs-meticulously reprinted from an extremely rare portfolio-typifies Moser's remarkable use of subtle colors and unique designs. Sixty imaginative full-page designs-30 in full color and 30 in black and whitedepict a marvelous selection of allover patterns for textiles, wallpaper, rugs, and wall hangings. Imaginative renderings, with an Art Nouveau flavor, of ferns, flowers, berries, human figures, masks, exotic dancers, and a host of other subjects provide today's graphic artists, illustrators, and textile designers with a magnificent source of copyright-free designs and inspiration. Brimming with splendid images, this extremely important, influential work by a modern master has never before been reprinted in its entirety in a trade edition. This affordable new Dover version is sure to delight any admirer of Moser's work, lovers of Art Nouveau and early modern art.
