Hamburgische Secession. 1920.
One of the last secessionist groups to be formed, the Hamburg Secession consisted of about 55 members at its peak. Due to its late starting date, the optimism, if not enthusiasm, many of the Expressionists felt toward World War I had already been tainted by the reality of the battlefield; therefore, the Hamburg Secession was more macabre, more existential than many other avant-garde art societies already in existence. There also was no single agenda or manifesto within the group: the main goals were simply to present high quality work that reflected on the current social climate. Here, they are sponsoring a Sunday lecture by local writer Dr. Arthur Sakheim on experimental theater. Years later, on March 30, 1933, the last exhibition of the Hamburg Secession became the first art show closed by the Ministry of Propaganda under the Nazis.
