Munich Secession

The Munich Secession was an artistic movement in late 19th and early 20th century Germany, emerging in 1892 when a group of artists, dissatisfied with the traditional art institutions and styles, broke away to form their own association. They sought to promote modern art and creativity, emphasizing individual expression and innovative techniques. The group held exhibitions that showcased their work, contributing to the broader Secession movements across Europe, which aimed to challenge conventional art norms. Prominent figures in the Munich Secession included painters and designers who influenced the development of modern art in Germany.
