The Secessions artist groups at the dawn of modernism in a splendid new volume.
At the end of the 19th century, the term Secession stood for the artistic beginnings of modernism. Art was surging forward towards freedom. Avant-garde artists showcased their new creative works in the exhibitions of the Secession. In doing so, they introduced innovative art movements to the public and helped movements like Impressionism and Symbolism achieve a breakthrough in the German-speaking region.
The new alliances of artists in the Secession represented the abandonment of traditional artists' associations and old-fashioned structures, leading to a new era of artistic freedom. The most prominent Secessions in the German region emerged in 1892 in Munich, 1897 in Vienna, and 1899 in Berlin. They are still associated with the figures who helped shape them: Franz von Stuck, Gustav Klimt, and Max Liebermann.
This volume illustrates their artistic diversity with over 200 works by some 80 artists of the Secessions in Vienna, Munich, and Berlin, as well as international guests including Hodler, Munch, Rodin, Segantini, and Toorop.
