Isn't this just a foreign word for Art Nouveau? I know "sesessja' (or equivalents) is used in various European languages for the movement, but I've never heard a native speaker use it. How is it different from AN, and what English language sources use the term?? If none, then perhaps it should be merged with AN. Malick78 (talk) 14:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Hi. I agree that "Secession" is primarily a term (not used in English) to refer to some local varieties of Art Nouveau. This article was actually a compromise resulting from the merge with (see Secessionism (before merge)). Also see my comment on that talk page. I believe it's the concept promoted by the Hans-Ulrich Simon book listed in the article, which focuses on the series of instances of secession from the academies as a discernible movement of modernism (Sezessionismus)—not all of which reflected Art Nouveau. I am not certain that this thesis has been promoted by other authors nor in English. --Stomme (talk) 15:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Having just finished an article on the Munich Secession, I thought I should add a comment...even if it is six years after the fact.
"Secession" is, in fact, a legitmate term for an attitude towards art, not a specific art style. It expresses a desire to break away from tradition and does encompass broad stylistic movements such as impressionism, expressionism etc., as well as the more limited Art Nouveau. These Secessions were originally promoted primarily by magazines such as Jugend, but that's coincidental. WQUlrich (talk) 18:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
