The Vienna Secession grew out of a dissatisfaction with the traditional
practices of the Kunstlerhausgenossenschaft; an association which could have
been called the Vienna Academie.The Kunstlerhaus was, in Gustav Klimt's
eyes, directed by commercial motivations which were limiting in their disregard
of foreign artists and maintained art as something separate from the lives of
the majority of the Austrian people. This conflict between new ideals and the
establishment came to a head in 1897 when forty members of the Kunstlerhaus
seceded and founded their own association with Gustav Klimt as their president.
