Moriz Jung (1885–1915) was an Austrian artist and illustrator associated with the Wiener Werkstätte, a prominent design and production community in Vienna that played a significant role in the development of modern art and design in the early 20th century. Jung is best known for his innovative graphic works, including postcards, posters, and book illustrations, which often featured bold, simplified forms and a playful sense of humor.

"Merry Christmas!" is one of Jung's notable postcard designs, created during his time with the Wiener Werkstätte. The postcard exemplifies his distinctive style, characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a modern aesthetic that reflects the influence of the Vienna Secession movement. The design is both festive and minimalist, showcasing Jung's ability to convey a sense of celebration and warmth through simple yet striking visual elements.

Jung's work with the Wiener Werkstätte was part of a broader effort to integrate art into everyday life, a central tenet of the movement. The Wiener Werkstätte produced a wide range of decorative and functional objects, including textiles, ceramics, and graphic art, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and artistic integrity. Postcards like "Merry Christmas!" were an accessible and affordable way for the public to engage with contemporary art and design.

Unfortunately, Moriz Jung's career was cut short by his untimely death in 1915 during World War I. Despite his brief career, his contributions to graphic design and illustration remain significant, and his works continue to be appreciated for their originality and charm. "Merry Christmas!" is a testament to Jung's talent and his ability to infuse everyday objects with artistic value.
