Historical secessions

Programmatically, the first secessions from a trend towards Art Nouveau were required. In Austria as well as Hungary was " Secession" virtually synonymous with Art Nouveau. In fact, it went to the German secessions to its own access to state subsidies and to the abandonment of two institutions that dominated the art market: the trade association of artists and the general German Kunstgenossenschaft with their judges. The German Secession movement culminated in the project of the New Weimar ( inter alia establishment of the German Association of Artists, expansion of the Weimar Art School with the Weimar school of sculpture ).
