It brought together various styles and advanced as early as 1907 to become a leading association for modern art, soon moving beyond Secessionism to represent current trends ranging from Expressionism to New Objectivity.? This artist association and its members established themselves through inclusive exhibition policies. Indeed, there was a group show featuring Hungarian, Polish, Czech, and German artists as early as 1907. The Hagenbund therefore represented an early network of European art with a regional location in Vienna. When the Secession´s clout dwindled after 1918, it was the Hagenbund that provided innovative impulses. It was thanks to the Hagenbund that many fundamental exhibitions of modern art were staged one of the most unrecognized phenomena in Austrian art history. *Hagenbund - A European Network of Modernism (1900 to 1938)* aims to present this European network and its activities in an innovative way and to provide new perspectives on the development of Austrian modernism, especially between the two world wars. The show is not dedicated to the battle of the isms or classifying art according to formal criteria but addresses the influences and interactions between artists in Vienna, Prague, Munich, Budapest, Lemberg (Lviv), Bratislava, Cracow, and Trieste.?This network analysis will for the first time be used as an art-historical tool to explore over nine historic exhibitions staged by the Hagenbund, thus conveying to the viewer this reevaluation of artistic developments in the interwar period. Furthermore, the show presents the interim findings of the two-year Belvedere research project, sponsored by the Austrian National Bank, on the topic of A European Network of Modernism (1900 to 1938). ### [Lower Belvedere](https://www.belvedere.at/en/visit/lower-belvedere) **Opening hours:** Monday to Sunday, 10 am - 6 pm **Address:** Lower Belvedere, 1030 Vienna ([Getting there]()) [Tickets](https://www.belvedere.at/en/tickets?location%5B0%5D=3) ##### In cooperation with - Logo Österreichische Nationalbank - Kovacek ## Impressions - ![Oil on canvas 49 x 60 cm — Maximilian Reinitz, Factory in the suburb, 1930 — Ernst Ploil, Vienna, Photo: © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222917.jpg.webp?itok=5xRDLEm8) - ![Hagenbund — Exhibition view "Hagenbund" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222916.jpg.webp?itok=B5_gk6IH) - ![Oil on canvas 54 x 44 cm — Frieda Salvendy, Still live, 1921 — © Private Collection](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222915.jpg.webp?itok=f_nv76K0) - ![Oil on cardboard 24 x 17.8 cm — Egon Schiele, Houses in Winter (View from the Studio), 1907/1908 — © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222914.jpg.webp?itok=sZmYJiNa) - ![Oil and pencil on cardboard 31.6 x 23.6 cm — Carry Hauser, Yearning for Spring, 1923 — Private Collection, Tirol, Courtesy Galerie Maier Innsbruck © Bildrecht, Vienna, 2014 / Photo: \xa9 Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222884.jpg.webp?itok=5btpKLki) - ![Oil on canvas 104 x 78 cm — Lilly Steiner, Portrait Lilian Gaertner, 1927 — Private Collection, Vermittlung Kunsthandel Widder, Vienna, Photo: © Kunsthandel Widder, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222873.jpg.webp?itok=83SAVWoQ) - ![Hagenbund — Exhibition view "Hagenbund" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222869.jpg.webp?itok=xwDKAdQO) - ![Hagenbund — Exhibition view "Hagenbund" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222910.jpg.webp?itok=QCoB9Jge) - ![Hagenbund — Network graphic screenshot - www.hagenbund.at — © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886222868.jpg.webp?itok=oBLA6nVg)
