Postcards

About Postcards

Two strands run through this collection. One is a group of Wiener Werkstätte postcards by Moriz Jung, the format that gives the collection its name: a night-time conversation, “Das Wunderkind”, “Hindernis Regenbogen”, a Christmas card and two scenes from a Viennese café. The other, larger strand consists of graphic motifs in flat, saturated colour.

In that second group, faces and profiles predominate: a man with a moustache against blue, a green profile on yellow, a blue face, a geometric portrait and a fashion silhouette. Floral pieces such as orange blooms in a white vase, a red botanical form and cut-out still lifes sit beside purely geometric compositions in red, yellow, blue and black. Though conceived as small-format motifs, all are reproduced as giclée prints with pigment inks, made to order in Berlin on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, in sizes A4 to A0.
