The Berlin Secession, 1892 -1933

In 1892, a group of progressive artists led by Max Liebermann broke away from the established and conservative Association of Berlin Artists and founded The Berlin Secession. Its aims were to promote more avant-garde work and to champion the burgeoning new style of ‘Expressionism’.

The sixty-five original members mounted two shows a year, during the fifteen years of its existence, with much of the work dubbed ‘gutter art’ by Kaiser Wilhelm II.

The membership included some of the most influential artists of the day, including Käthe Kollwitz, Heinrich Zille, Max Beckmann and Wassily Kandinsky, but by 1910, it had begun to falter when the New Secession was founded by the younger Expressionist artists. A further schism developed in 1914, when the Free Secession was founded, again led by Max Leibermann. This was disbanded in 1933.
