Their exaggerated features\u2014such as oversize eyes, ears, and whiskers as well as elongated necks or shortened limbs\u2014use caricature to emphasize elements of form, engaging the viewer through humor and charm. Throughout their careers, Bosse and Rix produced modernist designs for the two leading artist workshops\u2014the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte and the Austrian Werkbund.",
