Beautiful women with long tresses served as muses for many turnof-the-century commercial products, one example being Kolomon Moser’s poster for the modern furniture of Jacob and Josef Kohn. The rigidly stylized figure, embedded in a linear pattern of geometric shapes, is a far cry, stylistically-speaking, from the curvilinear and sensual Art Nouveau image of a winged nymph (displayed nearby) that Moser had created eight years earlier for the fifth exhibition of the Vienna Secession. Moser worked with the Austrian printer Albert Berger to produce this poster in Vienna for the Russian market. The Cyrillic text below the woman’s feet advertises the availability of the Kohn furniture in Moscow and St. Petersburg, among other cities.
