I've never seen them before and they are quite lovely.<br /><br />I think Japanese art was clearly an important and early influence on Moser, but he certainly went his own way as he matured. To me, his peacock with cherries print is the most Japanese of all of his work. There are several Japanese bird prints that strike me as being clear inspirations for his design (by Hokusai or Hokkei as I recall), although I can't put my finger on them at the moment. One museum dates Moser's print to 1905/06 which, if true, would make a lot of sense. It was a popular print for Moser and he likely printed the design a number of different times over the course of his career. (He painted the subject at least twice as well.)Darrel C.
