GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In an effort to permeate all facets of life, the Wiener Werkstätte elevated ordinary objects, such as postcards, to the status of objets d’art. In 1905, Carl Otto Czeschka designed the first Wiener Werkstätte postcards—a Christmas card and a New Year’s card printed in editions of approximately one hundred and distributed to employees and friends of the company. Oscar Kokoschka, a one-time pupil of Czeschka, designed this postcard, marked with his monogram “OK” and characterized by the bold lines and flat fields of primary colors that are common in his graphic designs, including the illustrations of Die träumenden Knaben.

NOTES
This note was previously tagged #routed (and possibly !Routed_Feb15). I am removing those tags and replacing with #draft so that this note proceeds to GDocs for routing and is harvested to Brain. (EAS, 12/22/2016)
Update Jan 31, 2017- removing the routed tag so that this note will be resubmitted to Nicky for review. The draft is in the Euro folder in GDrive. I am also removing the #draft tag and replacing with #incomplete until I can finish the necessary reformatting and TMS data entry.
