Herrmann Kosel Hermann Kosel was the son of the writer and court photographer Hermann Clemens Kosel. He studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts with Rudolf Bacher and Ferdinand Dirt. In the interwar period he turned to commercial posters, which he designed in a flat and calculatedly colorful manner. He was employed by Julius Klinger as a teacher at his private school for commercial graphics. Together with Rolf Frey he ran the “Atelier Cosl-Frey”, from 1927 to 1929 he ran the “Atelier Kosel-Gibson” together with Erwin Gibson, and from 1929 he worked alone. Kosel worked, among others, for the Rikola publishing house, for the Humanic shoe factory and for the International Motor Show in 1931. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, he had to flee to Switzerland with his Jewish wife Nelly Wengraf and lived in Aix-en-Provence until 1949, where he exclusively painted landscapes, after which they both returned to Vienna.
