The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

The '''Munich Secession''' ([[German language|German]] Münchener Secession) was an association of visual artists who broke away from the mainstream Munich Artists' Association in 1892, to promote and defend their art in the face of what they considered official paternalism and its conservative policies. They acted as a form of [[cooperative]], using their influence to assure their economic survival and obtain commissions. In 1901, the association split again when some dissatisfied members formed the group [[Phalanx (art group)|Phalanx]]. Another split occurred in 1913, with the founding of the New Munich Secession.

== Background ==
[[File:Franz von Lenbach.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Franz von Lenbach, the "Prince of Painters". From ''[[Die Gartenlaube]]'', c.&nbsp;1900]]
By the end of the nineteenth century, more artists lived in Munich than lived in Vienna and Berlin put together. However, the art community there was dominated by the conservative attitudes of the Munich Artists' Association and its supporters in the government. These attitudes found expression in the official "mission statements", written by the so-called "Prince of Painters" (''Malerfürst'') [[Franz von Lenbach]]. Matters came to a head in 1891 when the Prince-Regent [[Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria|Luitpold of Bavaria]] founded the Prinzregent-Luitpold-Stiftung zur Förderung der Kunst, des Kunstgewerbes und des Handwerks in München, an art foundation devoted to promoting traditional [[history painting]] in the service of the state. This foundation created and maintained a high level of artistic quality and brought world attention to the [[Academy of Fine Arts, Munich|Academy of Fine Arts]], but was firmly opposed to [[impressionism]], [[expressionism]], [[Symbolism (arts)|symbolism]] and other contemporary trends in the art world.

Another factor was the complete financial failure of an exhibition in 1888 at the [[Glaspalast (Munich)|Glaspalast]], organized by the Artists' Association. This led to a bitter debate about responsibility and the exhibition's content which grew so furious, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of State for Science and Art.<ref>Rita Hummel: ''Die Anfänge der Münchener Secession''. Schriften aus dem Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität München, Vol. 46, ((ZDB|57236-6)). Tuduv-Verlags-Gesellschaft, München 1989, ((ISBN|3-88073-345-7)). (based on a thesis for the [[University of Munich]]).</ref>

To address this situation, a group of artists with a progressive outlook gathered together in 1892, announced their separation from the official Artists' Association and established the Munich Secession, with an eye toward exhibiting at the upcoming [[World's Columbian Exposition]]. They called for a transformation in the ideas of what constitutes art and promoted the idea of an artists' freedom to present works directly to the public.

((Blockquote|''Man soll auf unseren Ausstellungen Kunst sehen und jedes Talent, ob älterer oder neuerer Richtung, dessen Werke München zur Ehre gereichen, soll seine Blüte reich entfalten können.'' (One should see, in our exhibitions, every form of art, whether old or new, which will redound to the glory of Munich, whose art will be allowed to develop to its full flowering.)))

In this statement of principles, the artists declared their intentions to move away from outmoded principles and a conservative conception of what art is.<ref>Clelia Segieth: ''Memorandum des Vereins Bildender Künstler Münchens''. In: Buhrs, Best: ''Secession 1892–1914'', S.&nbsp;20–24.</ref>

== Foundation ==
[[File:Bruno-piglhein.jpg|thumb|150px|Bruno Piglhein, first president of the Munich Secession]]
On 4 April 1892, ninety-six artists who had resigned from the official association, established the Association of Visual Artists of Munich. [[Bruno Piglhein]] was elected the first president and [[Paul Hoecker]] became the first secretary. In a few months the original name gave way to the more popular name: Munich Secession.

Financial support initially came from three sources: [[Georg Hirth]], a writer and journalist who coined the word "secession" to describe the spirit of the various art movements at that time. In 1896, he would establish the [[Art-Nouveau]] magazine ''[[Jugend (magazine)|Jugend]]''; [[Georg von Vollmar]], editor of the [[Democratic socialism|Democratic Socialist]] party's official organ; and ((ill|Hans Veit zu Toerring-Jettenbach|de)), a member of the liberal opposition to the government's policies.

That same year saw the creation of another breakaway association, the ((ill|Luitpold-Gruppe|de)), composed of more moderate artists who wanted to maintain the high-quality standards of the academy. The [[Vienna Secession]] followed five years later, and the [[Berlin Secession]] was established in 1898.

== Exhibitions ==
[[File:Ausstellungspalast, Berlin 1885.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The National Exhibition Building (ULAP), ((Circa|1885))]]
At first, the secession had some difficulty finding a building for their exhibitions. The city of Frankfurt offered to provide the necessary space and 500,000 [[German gold mark|gold marks]], if the group would move there permanently.<ref name="Helmut Kästl">Helmut Kästl: [http://www.muenchenersecession.de/hist.php ''Historisches zur Münchener Secession''.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413125828/http://www.muenchenersecession.de/hist.php |date=13 April 2014 )) In: ''muenchenersecession.de'', retrieved 22 June 2012.</ref> Their first exhibition actually took place at Berlin's National Exhibition Building (now known as ''((ill|Universum Landes-Ausstellungs-Park|de|ULAP|lt=ULAP))'') early in 1893.

Baurat (city construction supervisor) Franz von Brandl provided the secession with some free land at the corner of [[Prinzregentenstraße (Munich)|Prinzregentenstraße]] and Pilotystraße. Construction began immediately and their debut exhibition took place on 16 July 1893, in the first portion of the building to be completed. Over 4,000 visitors came to see 876 works by 297 artists.

The success of this effort eventually allowed them to come to an agreement with Franz von Lenbach and the Artists' Association. As a result, the art exhibition building on the [[Königsplatz, Munich|Königsplatz]] (now the [[Staatliche Antikensammlungen]]) was transferred to the secession in 1897.

== Later history ==
In 1933, the [[National Socialist]] party began their crusade to bring all forms of artistic expression under their control: a process known as ''[[Gleichschaltung]]'' (bringing into line). Artists were eventually required to obtain state endorsement for all of their works. Those who were considered "[[Degenerate art|degenerate]]" were not allowed to paint.<ref>[[Hermann Glaser (cultural historian)|Hermann Glaser]]: ''Wie Hitler den deutschen Geist zerstörte. Kulturpolitik im Dritten Reich''. Ellert&nbsp;& Richter, Hamburg 2005, ((ISBN|3-8319-0227-5)).</ref> In 1938, the Munich Secession was dissolved as part of the ''Kulturellen Säuberung'' ([[cultural cleansing]]) process.

Following the end of World War II in 1946, the ''((ill|Neue Gruppe|de))'' and the ''Neue Münchner Künstlergenossenschaft'' (New Munich Artists' Association) were founded and led to the establishment of the ''Bundesverband Bildender Künstlerinnen und Künstler'' (Federal Association of Visual Artists).

In 1992, the secession celebrated its centennial and, in March of the following year, the Society of Friends and Sponsors of the Munich Secession was created to support the secession's continuing goals, maintain the Secessionsgalerie and promote exhibitions.
