For instance, klimt was inspired to create murals by artist. Viennese artists broke away from standards and built themselves a place to exhibit there work The vienna secession was formed in 1897 by a group of austrian artists who had resigned from the association of austrian artists, housed in the vienna. Rst president of the secession was gustav klimt. At this time, there is a displacement of one paradigm by another, and a sense of competition through the exchange of ideas. Jugendstil and art nouveau as the end of the 19th c, or is it really the rst. They are displaced so rapidly, it begins very quickly to be a style from the past. It is typical of klimt to have the lines/ gures represent more than one thing in his works.
