Robert Auer
Robert Auer (Zagreb, 27 November 1873 – Zagreb, 8 March 1952), was a Croatian Secession painter. Biography Robert Auer was born into a wealthy Zagreb family to Ferdinand and Amelija Auer. His brothers were the architect Bela Auer, and Koloman Auer, who inherited a printing press business from his father. Robert attended a technical school before going to university in Vienna and Munich. Following his studies, he became involved in the Zagreb art scene, especially those circles surrounding the Secession movement. Croatian painters of that time were distancing themselves from the traditional style of painting and, like their colleagues in Vienna and Munich, brought a new freedom into art. Having acquired a reputation as a portraitist among the upper classes, Auer painted over 150 portraits in this period, selling nearly all of them. Auer was the sole Croatian painter to be included in the ''Munich Secession Exhibition of 1896''. His work also received a special prize at the e ...

Vienna Secession
The Vienna Secession (german: Wiener Secession; also known as ''the Union of Austrian Artists'', or ''Vereinigung Bildender Künstler Österreichs'') is an art movement, closely related to Art Nouveau, that was formed in 1897 by a group of Austrian painters, graphic artists, sculptors and architects, including Josef Hoffman, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner and Gustav Klimt. They resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists in protest against its support for more traditional artistic styles. Their most influential architectural work was the Secession Building designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich as a venue for expositions of the group. Their official magazine was called '' Ver Sacrum'' (''Sacred Spring'', in Latin), which published highly stylised and influential works of graphic art. In 1905 the group itself split, when some of the most prominent members, including Klimt, Wagner, and Hoffmann, resigned in a dispute over priorities, but it continued to function, and still functions ...

Munich Secession
The Munich Secession was an association of visual artists who broke away from the mainstream Munich Artists' Association in 1892, to promote and defend their art in the face of what they considered official paternalism and its conservative policies. They acted as a form of cooperative, using their influence to assure their economic survival and obtain commissions. In 1901, the association split again when some dissatisfied members formed the group Phalanx. Another split occurred in 1913, with the founding of the New Munich Secession. Background By the end of the nineteenth century, more artists lived in Munich than lived in Vienna and Berlin put together. However, the art community there was dominated by the conservative attitudes of the Munich Artists' Association and its supporters in the government. These attitudes found expression in the official "mission statements", written by the so-called "Prince of Painters" (''Malerfürst'') Franz von Lenbach. Matters came to a head ...

Hrvatski Leksikon
Croatian (; ' ) is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian pluricentric language used by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina, and other neighboring countries. It is the official and literary standard of Croatia and one of the official languages of the European Union. Croatian is also one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a recognized minority language in Serbia and neighboring countries. Standard Croatian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-Croatian, Shtokavian, more specifically on Eastern Herzegovinian, which is also the basis of Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. In the mid-18th century, the first attempts to provide a Croatian literary standard began on the basis of the Neo-Shtokavian dialect that served as a supraregional ''lingua franca'' pushing back regional Chakavian, Kajkavian, and Shtokavian vernaculars. The decisive role was played by Croatian Vuko ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
