Exhibition Label: "Quilts: A Thread of Modernism," Aug-2005, Debra Thimmesch and Barbara Brackman Founders of the Wiener Werkstätte, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser were involved in the anti-academic Secession in Vienna in the late nineteenth century. Their philosophy that artistic endeavor should permeate all aspects of everyday life found favor with designers such as Joseph Olbrich and Jutta Sika. Unlike the sensuous vegetation of the Art Nouveau style, Wiener Werkstätte artists and architects embraced an aesthetic of simplicity realized in the basic geometric shapes and solid fields of color of their products.
