The Leopold Museumis going to show the first big exhibition of Josef Maria Auchentaller in Austria. Josef Maria Auchentaller (Vienna 1865 – Grado 1949) was one of the artists who participated in the Viennese art revolution that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century. For more than a decade, the painter and graphic artist was an active protagonist of the Secession, which had been founded by Gustav Klimt in 1897. He participated in the Secession exhibitions around 1900, at times in a position of responsibility for organisation, and was also involved in the publication of the magazine “Ver Sacrum”, the Secession’s official organ. His decision to leave Vienna in 1903 and to risk the “tourist” adventure in Grado isolated him prematurely from the Vienna art scene.
