They are being celebrated jointly on a souvenir sheet of 4 stamps. The period around 1900 was a golden age for art and culture in Vienna. In 1897 the association of artists known as the Vienna Secession was founded. Its motto Ver Sacrum, “sacred Spring”, which was the title of an important art journal, symbolised the hope of a new awakening in art. In the field of handicrafts, the Wiener Werkstätte strove to expand art into an everyday context; the decorative Jugendstil, with its sweeping lines and floral elements, superceded historicism, and expressionism started to develop. The artists • The buildings of OTTO WAGNER (1841-1918) still give Vienna much of its character today. While historic buildings still predominate in Vienna’s Ringstraße, his Postal Savings Bank building, the Kirche am Steinhof church and the pavilion on the Karlsplatz demonstrate the emergence of the Jugendstil. Wagner also designed Vienna's light urban railway, much of which is still in use today as the underground system. • GUSTAV KLIMT (1862-1918) was the first president of the Vienna Secession and one of his main works, the Beethoven frieze, is also displayed in the Secession building. His best-known works worldwide include “The Kiss”, the “Woman of Gold”, "Judith I", and his landscapes of the Attersee region of Austria. • KOLOMON MOSER (1868-1918), a good friend of Klimt, is mostly known as a graphic designer and an artisan. He designed many posters, book covers, postcards, bank notes and stamps. He also designed furniture, glasses and textiles, as well as glass windows like that for the Kirche am Steinhof. • EGON SCHIELE (1890-1918), mentored by Klimt, soon turned his back on the Jugendstil and played a significant role in the development of expressionism in Austria. His nude drawings and self-portraits in particular demonstrate his genius and his characteristic use of colour and form. The souvenir sheet of stamps shows Koloman Moser's painting “Spring” (completed in 1913), Gustav Klimt's “Death and Life” (1916), a light urban railway station designed by Otto Wagner (1898), and a self-portrait by Egon Schiele (1912).
