Note: Philippi was a widely exhibited painter and printmaker who studied art in Graz. He opened his studio in Vienna where he showed with the Secession. He produced a great deal of graphic art including illustrated postcards and holiday cards. Though is early work displays the influence of Art Nouveau, he had come under the influence of Expressionism by 1915.
Philippi also worked closely with the publishers and stationers M. Munk in Vienna producing graphic art for their products, including this stationery box.
