The artwork titled “Stage design for ‘Jeep from the mountain’ of Louis Holzberg, stage 2 – Morning,” created by Koloman Moser around 1912, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It measures 27 x 41.3 cm and falls under the genre of design.
In this artwork, Moser’s characteristic Art Nouveau style is evident through the flowing, organic shapes and detailed patterns. The stage design presents a theatrical scene featuring rich, red curtains adorned with gold flecks that dominate the background, opening to reveal a royal figure seated on a throne. Flanked by attendants holding torches, the central figure appears surrounded by an aura of grandeur, emphasized by curvilinear forms and intricate decorative elements that evoke a sense of opulence and ceremonial significance. The use of vivid colors and dynamic lines showcases Moser’s mastery in combining aesthetics with practical design for the theatrical setting.
