"Franz Von Stuck was the co-founder, in 1893, of the Munich Secession, and his influence on artists of the period was extensive, not only through his work in this group, but also as a frequent contributor to the magazine 'Jugend' and as a teacher at the Munich Academy. He created several of the Secession posters, including this famous design which was used for the first Secession exhibition in 1893 and for several years thereafter. Here it announces the 1897 show. In each variation we see the classical head of Athena, set in a gold mosiac octagonal frame. Athena, Grecian goddess of wisdom, patroness of the arts and faithful helper of brave warriors, became the Secessionists' symbol" (Rennert, PAI-XXIV, 530)
