The artwork titled “Fabric design with birds for Backhausen,” created by Koloman Moser in 1899 in Austria, exemplifies the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. Crafted using watercolor on paper, this piece is a design genre work with dimensions measuring 34 x 21 cm.
The artwork features a repetitive pattern of abstract bird forms, rendered in fluid, black, and white brushstrokes. The birds are depicted in a stylized manner, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, with flowing lines and an emphasis on organic shapes. The composition demonstrates Moser’s skill in creating dynamic and harmonious designs meant for fabric, encapsulating the aesthetic principles of the late 19th century.
