Secession no. 2, July 1922 (cover by Ludwig Kassák)
Secession, founded in 1922 by Gorham B. Munson, sought to give corner to the “youngest generation” of interwar modernists. Printed at various junctures in Vienna, Berlin, New York, Florence, and Reutte (Tyrol), Secession nevertheless became an important platform distributing literary Dadaism to New York. Countering Harold Loeb’s Broom on one side and Margaret Anderson’s Little Review on the other, Secession is marked by a critical attention to the literary politics of little magazines in the early twenties.
