FRANZ VON STUCK (1863-1928) INTERNATIONALE KUNST AUSSTELLUNG / SECESSION. Circa 1897.
37 7/8x26 3/4 inches. Wolf & Sohn, Munich.
Condition A-: overpainting repaired tears in margins.
Franz Von Stück painted the head of the Greek Goddess Athena in 1891. In 1893, the head of the goddess became the emblem of the Münich Secession when Von Stück officially co-founded the movement and used it on a poster advertising the group's first international exhibition. (In Vienna, 5 years later, Pallas Athena became an emblem of that city's Secession movement as well, with the painting by Gustav Klimt and Klimt's subsequent use of the Goddess on his Secession posters). As late as 1907, Stück reused the goddess' head, framed in an octagon, for many posters advertising Secession exhibitions. This poster, along with all his other Secession work, was printed by Wolf & Sohn, the main printer of the Secession.
