Description
This bold art pochoir is from the scarce publication of the Vienna Secession’s magazine entitled
Die Flache. The work was edited by Felicien Myrbach and published by Schroll between 1902 and 1903.
The Vienna Secession’s magazine,
Die Flache, was a landmark of graphic modernism. The magazine was created as an idea from leading graphic artists of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte—Die Fläche (German for The Surface). The artists behind it included Koloman Moser, Alfred Roller, Josef Hoffmann, Bertold Löffler, and others. The magazine set out to create bold ideas for posters, advertisements, book covers, woodcut prints, lettering, and more. It served as a great source of graphic forms and modern ideas.
