About Moriz Jung

From 1907 the Wiener Werkstätte issued numbered postcards by its artists and by students of the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule, where Jung trained. His cards use flat colour, firm black outlines and lettering built into the picture, and treat Viennese types, from the man of letters to the music lover, with dry humour. Jung was killed in the First World War in 1915.

The conversation cards set an editor against a statesman, two rivals in the street and two mutes in a café. Among the variety numbers, No. 9 traces Aldo Mario Brasso’s act in looping lines, No. 11 sends a motor car flying beneath a rainbow, and in “Hindernis Regenbogen” an aeroplane runs into one. The cards are reproduced as giclée prints with pigment inks and made to order in Berlin, on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, A4 to A0.
