Translations of the Artistic Selfhood in Ver Sacrum the Seminal Magazine of the Vienna Secession
What manifests the Kunstpolitik of Ver Sacrum, the official organ of the Vienna Secession? A critical reading from the first issue (1898) against the background of Viennese Modernism and its leading cultural characteristics and concepts, such as nerves, the modern, or the coffeehouse aims at outlining the Secession's proclamation of artistic selfhood through their overarching aesthetic and cultural political concept of Kunstempfinden.
