Detailed Description

The Berlin Secession was an art movement formed in 1898 by a group of German artists who had resigned from the official state-sponsored Association of Berlin Artists. The Secession artists rejected the traditional academic art style, instead seeking to express a more individualized and emotionally charged approach to art-making. The group was short-lived, lasting only until 1900, but its impact was significant, both in Germany and internationally. The most famous artists associated with the Berlin Secession include Max Beckmann, Ernst Kirchner, and Wassily Kandinsky. One of the defining characteristics of the Berlin Secession style is its use of color. The artists associated with the movement were not afraid to use bold and bright colors in their paintings, often in contrast with one another. This use of color was meant to create an emotional response in the viewer, rather than simply to depict reality. The Berlin Secession was also known for its use of non-traditional materials and techniques. For example, Ernst Kirchner often incorporated found objects into his paintings, such as pieces of wood or fabric. This approach to art-making was in contrast to the more traditional approach of using only paint and canvas. The Berlin Secession was a short-lived but significant art movement. Its use of color and non-traditional materials and techniques was influential, both in Germany and internationally. The movement’s most famous artists, such as Max Beckmann, Ernst Kirchner, and Wassily Kandinsky, helped to shape the course of modern art.
