Original-Holzschnitt von Karl Moll OM ESTIMATE € 500 - 1000 STARTING PRICE € 500 Carl Moll studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1880/1881 with Christian Griepenkerl. He later became a student of Emil Jakob Schindler. In 1896 he received a small gold medal at the International Art Exhibition in Berlin. In 1897 he was one of the co-founders of the Vienna Secession. The Secessionists brought exhibitions of contemporary art to Vienna. In 1901, Josef Hoffmann built a semi-detached house for Moll and Kolomann Moser on the Hohe Warte, the first of a planned colony of villas. At Moll's instigation, the State Modern Gallery, now the Austrian Belvedere Gallery, was established in 1903. In 1905 Carl Moll left the Secession together with the group around Gustav Klimt. In those years, Moll was considered a representative of Art Nouveau. As director of the Miethke Gallery from 1904 to 1912, he acted as a patron of Klimt. He organized exhibitions of international artists and brought works by Vincent van Gogh to Vienna for the first time. Moll was a member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund. Moll became known for his large-format color lithographs and woodcuts. The style of his later landscape paintings changed increasingly from the flat painting of the Secessionists to more three-dimensionality, in the later years he increasingly approached Expressionism.
