Koloman Moser's "Mohnköpfe" (Poppyheads) fabric design from 1900 is a stunning example of Art Nouveau, characterized by its stylized natural forms. The fabric, currently at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a repeating pattern of poppyheads rendered in flowing lines, reminiscent of the sinuous curves and organic motifs popularized by the movement. The vibrant red background and delicate gold outlines create a sense of elegance and dynamism, making this a striking piece of textile design from the turn of the 20th century.
