Sezession |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.02 sec. |
SezessionName for several groups of progressive artists that broke away from established and conservative artists' organizations in Austria and Germany. The first secession group was formed in Munich in 1892. It was followed by the Berlin Sezession movement, formed by Max Liebermann in 1892, which included such artists as Lovis Corinth. The most famous of the groups, formed in Vienna in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, favoured a highly ornamental Art Nouveau style over the prevailing academicism. Shortly thereafter, murals created by Klimt for the ceiling of the University of Vienna auditorium were rejected as scandalous because of their erotic symbolism. The Sezession movement influenced such artists and architects as Egon Schiele and Josef Hoffmann. See also Photo-Secession. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Born in 1897 in Bratislava, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Derra de Moroda studied ballet, yet first became known as a modern dancer, making her debut at Vienna's anti-establishment Sezession in 1912. Olbrich's other buildings on the site have a much wilder mixture of ingredients: Austrian Sezession is blended with Belgian and French Art Nouveau and made occasionally astringent by the odd dash of the Arts and Crafts to form one of the strangest of early twentieth-century architectural experiments. |
