Secession

At the end of the 19th century arose several Secession movements. Each time there were separatist movements, which the artists wanted to take away from the goals of an existing association (often considered too conservative Academy), new ideals wanted to pursue or wanted to reach a new audience. Following the romance these artists wanted to show a dark side of society, especially of women. Franz von Stuck , Gustav Klimt and Munch are clear examples of this. As painted Franz Stuck mainly sensual mysterious women, often with mythological elements like a snake. These refer to the numerous sexually transmitted diseases which constituted a big problem at the end of the 19th century. The movement was a forerunner of the symbolism .
