The Imperial Arts and Crafts Schools, Vienna
Weinstein and Fraulein Fochler, was particularly
interesting; for it is also characteristic of the
moderns that they show interest for and in the
children, and there is much to be done which will
bear good fruit in this branch of art—toy-making.
Franz Died is another promising young artist whose
strength lies in decorative work. The wall-paper
reproduced is very effective, the ground
being a rich grey and the chestnut
flowers red. This is particularly suited
for a nursery. The design for a wall
hanging woven in Frau Guttmann’s
school is an excellent piece both in
drawing and execution. The design for
printed calico by Benirschke also shows
exactness in drawing, the right adjust-
ment to material, and a certain feeling
for effect; Karl Witzmann’s design for
a carpet is also fresh and original.
Indeed, this young artist, like Franz
Dietl, is feeling his way, and both have
found employment. Many other students
showed worthy work, including Hans
Ofner and Franz Zeymer; the various
articles of jewelry, furniture and other
objects by the former show him to be
many-sided.
In the work of Professor Kolo Moser’s
Class brightness and gaiety are a con-
spicuous feature. Variety and tempera-
ment mark the work of his students,
both male and female. Nominally his
is a school for painting; in reality
it is a school for every branch of applied
art. Fraulein Hilda von Exner and
Fraulein Nora von Exner
(two gifted sisters, who are
also pupils of Prof. Metz-
ner), Frauleine Hollmann,
Mela Kohler, Leopoldine
Kolbe, Bartl, Agnes Speyer,
and Alma Heller are allvery
able women and versatile
to boot. There is hardly
a branch of applied or deco-
rative art to which they have
not turned, and one and
all may reasonably expect
success. The same may be
said of the male students,
Franz Rischer, Oswald Dit-
trich, Gustav Kalhammer,
and Ugo Zovetti, a youth
from Dalmatia, a highly
gifted young man, full of the original and inherited
talent of his race. His special care is weaving, and
he will no doubt find his metier in this branch of
applied art. It is specially in Professor Moser’s
class that toys have a home, and much has been
invented, but alas, not even yet been made obtain-
able by the public owing to the want of initiative
