"This book details the breadth of the workshop's design vision, and provides a comprehensive overview of the movement, one of the high points of modern design history and a beacon for artists and designers ever since."--BOOK JACKET.

Founded in 1903, the Wiener Werkstatte - Vienna Workshops - was a movement to unite the fine and applied arts with the goal of creating beautifully designed and crafted objects for every purpose. This illustrated, compact book offers an exhaustive record of the group.

Stunning sourcebook of 60 full-page, royalty-free designs — 30 full color and 30 black-and-white — depict ferns, flowers, berries, human figures, masks, exotic dancers, and a host of other subjects.

As teacher, artist, craftsman and co-founder of the Vienna Secession, Koloman Moser (1868-1918) had an immense influence on the tastes of his time. His talents ranged from stained glass to stage design and postage stamps, and he devoted his latter years to painting.
