30 March 1868, Vienna (Austria) - 18 October 1918, Vienna (Austria)
Koloman Moser was an Austrian painter, graphic artist and an important representative of Art Nouveau.
Moser completed his education at the Vienna Academy under Franz Rumpler, Christian Griepenkerl and Josef Maria Trenkwald, and at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts under Franz Matsch. Moser’s first professional experience came as an Illustrator of art journals.
From his earliest days, Kolo Moser’s painting was strongly inspired by Impressionism, but he was particularly active in crafts. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession in 1897 and the Vienna Workshops in 1903. In the years that followed, he was joint artistic director of the Vienna Workshops with Josef Hoffmann. Moser also contributed to the journals Ver Sacrum, Hohe Warte and Der liebe Augustin.
The largest public collection of his work is at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, much of which features in the permanent exhibition 'Vienna 1900'. The Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna also houses a significant collection of his work, numbering 700 drawings in total.
