New Secession

The New Secession, initially led by Georg Tappert and Max Pechstein, was formed after 27 expressionistic works of art had been excluded from a 1910 exhibition of the Berlin Secession.

[2] The New Secession helped introducing expressionism in Germany.

[3] The fourth exhibition of the New Secession opened mid November 1911 and was a success, but at the same time the group started to fall apart.

[4] When Max Pechstein was not reelected as president of the New Secession, he left followed by the rest of the Brücke group.

Also, after a split of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München, the Blaue Reiter group now began organizing their own exhibitions.
