Introduced by James Mossman

To the period its art -to art its freedom
Anyone who thinks of Vienna and its artists at the time of Emperor Franz Joseph in terms of the Blue Danube and Johann Strauss will get a rude shock on 9 January. On that day the exhibition of the Viennese Secession opens at the Royal Academy.
The Secession was an avant-garde society founded in 1897 by Austrian painters, designers and architects with a distinct life style who shook the whipped-cream society of Vienna to its foundations. "Review" looks at two great artists of the Secession, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele against the background of Vienna at the turn of the century.
Written by Dr Wolfgang Fischer
