!!!Ver Sacrum

Ver Sacrum, major Austrian magazine of the  Jugendstil period, 
mouthpiece of the Vienna  Secession published from January 1898 to 
October 1903 (monthly until 1899, then bi-monthly), owing to its mix 
of articles on art theory and practical examples and contributions by 
both domestic and foreign authors, the publication gained great 
influence on art production around 1900. The artistic layout lay in 
the hands of artists of the Vienna Secession and frequently presented 
original printed graphics (especially by G.  Klimt, K.  Moser, J.  
Hoffmann and A.  Roller), numerous numbers were in the form of 
monographs and thus familiarised a broad readership with the works of 
individual artists who were playing an important role in the 
development of modern art. After 1900, Ver Sacrum was only published 
as an internal information journal for members of the Vienna 
Secession.
