Secession
Secession (also secession ; Latin secessio “splitting off”, “segregation”) describes in art the turning away of mostly a group of artists from an art movement that is perceived as no longer up-to-date .
Colloquially, the Vienna Secession building is called the Secession for short .
Historical secions
In terms of program, the first secions were committed to turning to Art Nouveau . In Austria as well as Hungary , “Secession” became almost a synonym for Art Nouveau. In fact, the German Secession was about its own access to state subsidies and about turning away from two institutions that dominated the art market: the trade association of artists and the General German Art Cooperative with its jurors. The German secession movement culminated in the New Weimar project (including the establishment of the German Association of Artists, expansion of the Weimar Art School with the Weimar Sculpture School ).
The most famous examples:
- The Munich Secession (since 1892), founded before the Chicago World's Fair (catalog edition July 15, 1893), in which Berlin sculptors and painters also took part (including Adolf Brütt , Max Kruse , Walter Leistikow , Reinhold Lepsius , Lesser Ury , Max Liebermann )
- The Vienna Secession (since 1897)
- The Berlin Secession , founded before the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 (1898–1933, synchronized until after 1936)
- The Stuttgart Secession (1923–1937)
- The German Association of Artists (since 1903), founded in Weimar as the umbrella organization of the Secession in Germany before the 1904 World Exhibition in St. Louis.
