However, around 1900 he joined the Munich Secession, which paved the way for Art Nouveau. At this time, Mauch's works took on a symbolic, often erotic character. The Knight's Dream, created in 1902, is an example of this tendency. On April 30, 1904, he became a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus. In 1909 Mauch moved from Austria to Munich and continued his studies at the Munich Academy. He took part in the exhibitions of the Luitpold group. Mauch also worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, notably for the prominent weekly magazine ‘Fliegende Blätter’.
