#18TH VIENNA SECESSION EXHIBITION FREE#

Eager to curate their own work, Puvis de Chavannes and Auguste Rodin declared independence by forming a break-away group, which was a ground-breaking departure in a culture with salon traditions dating back to the early 1700s. The first secession, known as the Salon du Champs-de-Mars (1890–present), is named after the 1791 Champ de Mars Massacre that saw dozens of civilians killed at the hands of the military, which radicalized the Paris citizenry – and the Salon's organizers were likely hoping for a similarly revolutionary effect. The François Joseph Heim painting Charles X Distributing Awards to the Artists at the Close of the Salon of 1824 illustrates how the French salon system worked. Simon argued that the successive waves of art secessions in the late 19th and early 20th century Europe collectively form a movement best described by the all-encompassing term 'Secessionism.'īy convention, the term is usually restricted to one of several secessions - mainly in Germany, but also in Austria and France - coinciding with the end of the Second Industrial Revolution, World War I and early Weimar Germany. Hans-Ulrich Simon later revisited that idea in Sezessionismus: Kunstgewerbe in literarischer und bildender Kunst, the thesis he published in 1976. Led by Gustav Klimt, who favored the ornate Art Nouveau style over the prevailing styles of the time, it was inspired by the Munich Secession (1892), and the nearly contemporaneous Berlin Secession (1898), all of which begot the term Sezessionstil, or 'Secession style.' Of the various secessions, the Vienna Secession (1897) remains the most influential. His word choice emphasized the tumultuous rejection of legacy art while it was being reimagined. The name was first suggested by Georg Hirth (1841–1916), the editor and publisher of the influential German art magazine Jugend ( Youth), which also went on to lend its name to the Jugendstil. In art history, secession refers to an historic break between a group of avant-garde artists and conservative European standard-bearers of academic and official art in the late 19th and early 20th century.
