Description
A whimsical illustration by Koloman Moser featuring four witches in patterned cloaks, created for a private picture book around 1903.
This illustration originates from a private picture book created by Koloman Moser for the niece of Ditha Mautner von Markhof. Moser, a founding member of the Vienna Secession, applied his graphic design sensibilities to this whimsical subject. The composition features four figures, identified by the text as witches, arranged in a rhythmic, procession-like formation against a neutral background.
Moser employs a distinct visual language here, favouring flat planes of colour and geometric patterns. The witches wear cloaks rendered in bold, tartan-like grids of blue, green, and orange. Their pointed hats are decorated with a dark, stippled pattern, while their footwear consists of a simple black-and-white checkerboard motif. These graphic elements reflect the broader aesthetic concerns of the Wiener Werkstätte, where Moser sought to unify fine art with functional design.
The figures possess a sharp, angular quality, typical of Moser's graphic work from this period. The text, 'BRRR VIER HEXEN', is integrated into the lower portion of the composition with a hand-drawn, sans-serif typeface that complements the starkness of the figures. By stripping away unnecessary detail, Moser focuses on the interplay of shape and pattern. This work demonstrates his ability to balance playful narrative content with the rigorous formal discipline associated with the Secessionist movement. The print captures a moment of lighthearted creativity from an artist otherwise occupied with complex architectural and decorative commissions.

Artist Biography
Koloman Moser
Koloman Moser was a true polymath, creating designs that spanned fine art, graphics, and decorative objects. He even designed the stained-glass windows for the Steinhof Church in Vienna, a project overseen by Otto Wagner. This willingness to work across media defines Moser's distinctive approach to art.
Moser's aesthetic blends geometric precision with organic forms, a hallmark of the Vienna Secession. He co-founded the Wiener Werkstätte, an association of artists and designers dedicated to creating unified, total artworks. His work includes posters, furniture, glass, ceramics, and jewellery, all marked by a sophisticated, linear style and a restrained colour palette. This emphasis on Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, makes him unique.
Today, Moser's designs resonate with collectors who appreciate the synthesis of art and craft. His prints offer a glimpse into a world of refined elegance and forward-thinking design. They represent a moment when artists sought to elevate everyday life through beauty and thoughtful creation, making them excellent additions to modern homes.
