The Secession (from the Latin secessio, or split) refers to the
conscious departure of certain groups of artists from official and
academic circles. Much like the historicism of the Gothic Revival, the
Secession took a stand against the standardization of form and
industrialized manufacturing, and may be viewed as part of the fight
against mass production and its perceived threat to human individuality.
However, Secessionist art was also directed against the propagation of
historical styles, and turned more towards stylized plant-like forms.
Typical of the movement is an ornamental, linear graphic style
exemplified by the curving lines and floral motif of Peter Behrens’
woodcut The Kiss. Secessionist movements formed at the end of the 19th
century in European art centers; in Germany, the Jugendstil, named after
the magazine Der Jugend, was centered in Munich, Berlin, and Darmstadt.
In France and Belgium the Secession was called art nouveau, mainly
understood as a reaction against impressionism. In Italy, the Liberty
style emerged at the 1902 Turin Exhibition, and in England a new style
grew out of the Arts and Crafts movement inspired by William Morris. The
Austrian group was known as the Wiener Secession after its home in
Vienna, with Gustav Klimt as its standard bearer; the Secession Building
designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich became known as the movement’s
"temple". Within the Secession movement were painters, sculptors, and
even architects, who turned away from official art. They sought an
integrated conception of art and attempted to create a synthesis of all
the arts. Applied art was particularly influenced by the art of the
Secession.
Among members of the Secession are: Gustav Klimt, Antonio Gaudì, Victor Horta, Carl Fabergé, Peter Behrens, Koloman Moser, Alfons Mucha, Walter Maria Olbrich, Franz von Stuck, Fritz von Uhde, Henry van de Velde, and Otto Wagner.
