About Max Kurzweil
Max Kurzweil was born on 12 October 1867 in Bzenec, Czech Republic. At the age of 12, Kurzweil's family moved to Vienna. There, he studied at the academy before spending two years in Paris. In France, he fell in love with the motifs of Brittany and the Mediterranean. In the coastal town of Concarneau, he met his wife Marthe, and the two returned to Vienna. She became a frequent model for his works.
In the early 20th century, in addition to oil painting, he devoted himself to woodcuts using Japanese techniques. Kurzweil was drafted into service during World War I. On 9 May 1916, he tragically took his own life alongside his lover Helene Herger in his studio.

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.
