About Koloman Moser
Under the leadership of Gustav Klimt, various artists, architects and designers joined forces in the Vienna Secession in the motto "To every time its art. To art its freedom". Following the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk (eng.: total work of art), the ideas of these ingenious artists permeated the entire spectrum of art: paintings and sculptures, everyday objects of every kind and even architecture. Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser founded the legendary Wiener Werkstätte in 1903, whose designs were to set standards worldwide and are now legendary design classics.

Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
The term Art Nouveau, or the German term Jugendstil (lit.: "Youth Style"), is the art epoch between 1890-1910. The name originates from the Munich-based magazine "Jugend" (Youth), founded in 1896. It was the German counterpart of Art Nouveau (France), internationally known as Modern Style (England) or Secession (Austria).
Art Nouveau spread across Europe, resulting in innumerable works, ranging from painting and applied arts to architecture. One of the requirements of Art Nouveau was the artistic design of everyday objects, aiming to merge beauty with practicality. The desired unity of the artistic ability could only be achieved through individually influenced design, making Art Nouveau a precursor of modernism. The defining characteristic of Art Nouveau is its linear, often asymmetrical ornamentation. The models are particularly taken from nature and flora.
Major Art Nouveau centres were formed in Munich, Darmstadt, Brussels, Paris and Nancy (Glass Art by Emile Gallé). The Viennese architecture of that time was determined by Otto Wagner and J. Hoffmann. Gustav Klimt created paintings that gave sensual shape to the spirit of Art Nouveau.
