Jung, Moriz [Moritz; Burger, Nikolaus; Mölzlagl, Simon]

(b Nikolsburg [now Mikulov na Morave, Czech Republic], Moravia, 22 Oct 1885; d Lubna, nr Rakovnik, 11 March 1915). Austrian printmaker. From 1901 to 1908 he attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where he was taught by Alfred Roller, Carl Otto Czeschka and Bertold Löffler. He revealed his exceptional talent as an illustrator in woodcuts, linocuts, lithographs and book images. During his studies he published a book of coloured woodcuts, Freunden geschnitten und gedruckt von Moriz Jung (Leipzig and Vienna, 1906), an alphabetical primer in the form of animal pictures, and in 1907 he designed a Poster for the Cabaret Fledermaus (Vienna, Hist. Mus.) for the Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna that consisted of caricatures of the actors Grete Kunkel, Else Saldern, Egon Dorn, Hilde Radnay and Oskar Steiner. For the Cabaret Fledermaus he illustrated the Second Programme Notes (1907) with various scenes of the production. Also for the Wiener Werkstätte, Jung drew illustrated broadsheets in 1907–8, among others Wonder Reptile and the Giant and the Cherry Tree (both Vienna, Hist. Mus.); and in 1908, a series of 24 comic picture postcards.
