  The Austrian painter, graphic artist and designer Kolo (Koloman) Moser studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Christian Griepenkerl and Franz Rumpler and then at the Vienna School of Applied Arts under Franz Matsch. In 1897, Moser was one of the founding members of the Vienna Secession, which he left in 1905 with the Klimt group. He designed the stained glass windows “Die Kunst” for the Secession building. Together with Josef Hoffmann and Fritz Wärndorfer, Moser founded the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903. Moser was a co-founder of the Austrian Werkbund. Moser designed glass, porcelain and metal work, furniture and interior designs, fashion, stage sets, costumes, fabrics, stained glass windows, glass mosaics and jewelry. He worked graphically on posters, book illustrations, book covers, stamps, banknotes and contributed to the Vienna Secession's magazine, "Ver Sacrum". He worked for "Wiener Mode", "Meggendorfer's Humoristic Sheets" and the new series of Gerlach's "Allegories". Moser also designed the high altar and the stained glass windows for the Am Steinhof church built by Otto Wagner (1904/1905). Moser's painting, which was initially influenced by the Impressionists, was entirely influenced by Ferdinand Holder in his later creative years. A teacher from 1899 and a professor at the Vienna School of Applied Arts from 1900, Moser was one of the most important representatives of First Viennese Modernism. His work in the three areas of painting, graphics and design includes: represented in the Wiener Werkstätten archive or other collections of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna (MAK).
