Unfortunately not on display at the moment
As a founding member of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte, Koloman Moser (1868–1918) at first focused on his capabilities as a draftsman, designer, graphic artist and exhibition designer. After leaving the Wiener Werkstätte in 1907, he systematically turned to painting as a means of expression. Initially, he was interested in landscapes, trying to capture varying atmospheres depending on the time of day, the season and the incidence of light. He later added still lifes and flower depictions to his oeuvre, which stand out on account of their intensely luminous colors and herald his interest in avant-garde color theories.
