New Secession
The New Secession (german: Neue Secession) was an association of expressionist artists organizing joint exhibitions in Berlin 1910–1914. 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. The first exhibition of the New Secession was advertised as showing artists "rejected by the Berlin Secession 1910", but the group was also joined by artists who were not former Berlin Secession members. The New Secession helped introducing expressionism in Germany. Besides Berlin expressionists, the New Secession had members from Die Brücke still living in Dresden until 1911, members from Munich, who would later form Der Blaue Reiter, as well as members from other places in Europe. 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. When Max Pechstein was not reelected as ...

German Expressionism
German Expressionism () consisted of several related creative movements in Germany before the First World War that reached a peak in Berlin during the 1920s. These developments were part of a larger Expressionist movement in north and central European culture in fields such as architecture, dance, painting, sculpture and cinema. This article deals primarily with developments in German Expressionist cinema before and immediately after World War I, approximately from 1910 to the 1930s. History The German Expressionist movement was initially confined to Germany due to the country's isolation during World War I. In 1916, the government banned foreign films, creating a sharp increase in the demand for domestic film production: from 24 films in 1914, to 130 films in 1918. With inflation also on the rise, Germans were attending films more freely because they knew that their money's value was constantly diminishing.Thompson, Kristin. Bordwell, David.
