Together with the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, they founded the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903, thus having a crucial influence on the applied arts in Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century. Both were founding members of the Vienna Secession and, from 1899 onwards, both taught at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts (todays University for Applied Arts Vienna). The careers and works of both creators are closely linked. Designs and objects from the areas of graphics, glass, and ceramics are displayed in the exhibition so as to place these exceptional artists works in dialogue with one another and render their individual characteristics visible. The works of Koloman Moser (1868≡918) are considered the artistic antithesis of Josef Hoffmanns (1870≡956) when it comes to the architecture of their designs: while Hoffmann remained a tectonically austere creator, Koloman Moser always incorporated a decorative, painterly element. This years annual exhibition Josef HoffmannKoloman Moser (through 28 October 2018) in Josef Hoffmann Museum in Brtnice, a joint branch of the Moravian Gallery in Brno and MAK Vienna, is dedicated to relations between two artist friends and preeminent designers of Viennese Modernism. ![]()
