Description
-
For the 8th exhibition of the Secession in 1900, which was the first one to do away with the distinction between âfineâ and âappliedâ art, Koloman Moser, who had trained at the Academy in Vienna as a painter, presented his unconventional
furniture piece Der reiche Fischzug [The Rich Haul]. This buffet, regarded as a groundbreaking and influential example of a specifically Viennese style of furniture, can be understood as a challenge to that periodâs established sense of aesthetic form and proportion: by emphasizing not the supporting structure alone, Moser produced an ambivalent effect that made it difficult for his contemporaries to differentiate between support and load, space and surface. At the same time, the geometric nature of this constructionâs basic forms and the use of surface ornamentationâmuch like in many later pieces of Viennese furnitureâgave rise to a harmony of sorts that was both new and full of tension.
