  1. Interesting post. His art is definitely unique, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about it.

    1. I understand whay you mean. His art doesn't engage me the same way as someone like Caillebotte, but it does catch our interest.

  2. He would have been an interesting man to have known!

  3. Mosers Arbeit im Briefmarkengravieren hatte großen Einfluss.
    Sein Tod im Jahr 1918 bewahrte ihn vor dem, was in Europa kommen sollte. (“)
