The imaginative fervor that gripped avant-garde master builders and artisans around 1900 in Vienna, the capital of the vast and culturally diverse Austro-Hungarian Empire, paralleled equally radical innovation in other creative realms, including the music of Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg, the painting of Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, and the writings of Arthur Schnitzler and Sigmund Freud. Yet the singular contributions to the visual arts that the Viennese made during this epoch have never loomed large enough in general chronicles of modernism.

Creating a symbiosis of design and craftsmanship – that was the purpose of the Wiener Werkstätte. When Koloman Moser (1868–1918) and Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956), with the financial support of the textile industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer (1868–1939), laid the foundations for this collective in 1903, they wanted nothing less than to renew the concept of art itself. Inspired by the British Arts and Crafts Movement, the WW’s repertoire included jewelry, clothes, items of furniture, ceramic works as well as postcards and playing cards. The aim was to offer artisan, non-industrial items instead of machine-made mass products. The WW worked closely with the Vienna Secession and with the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts whose students – for instance Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) and Rudolf Kalvach (1883–1932) – received commissions from the collective.

*Josef Hoffmann* and *Adolf Loos* were an integral part of a period during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when long-established viewpoints on the arts would be vehemently challenged. There was a drive to renounce traditional modes of thinking about art, design and architecture and to present a modern mindset. Aligned with this was a growing interest in an international art trend and the formation of outspoken artist groups that were often akin to political parties.

So I think I'm going to go with a monogram for mom's stationery. I have been working on one that I really love... it has a similar aesthetic to these that were done by the VS, but it's a little more organic... but not flowery. I'm considering doing some kind of stylized trees/pond in a similar aesthetic. Then I want to get in touch with a friend and letterpress genius, Patrick Masterson, who is here in town, and see about getting them letterpressed on some kind of robin's egg blue paper. UPDATE: check out the monogram I did here! We printed a pale blue Pantone on Crane Lettra fluorescent white. I can't remember where I got all this! If you are interested, I could probably track it down. Here are some more monograms, not by the Secessionists.
