In 1900 the Hagen Artists' Association was founded as a reaction to the conservatism of the artists' house. By the 1920s at the latest, it had established itself as "today's most radical group" within Viennese artists' associations. In the 1910s, the Hagenbund achieved significant status as a platform for young, contemporary art through presentations at the Kunstschau Wien. In the 1920s in particular, the Hagenbund experienced its heyday and took the step towards radical modernity. The special exhibition Painting and Sculpture in 1911 with works by Oskar Kokoschka, Anton Faistauer, Anton Kolig and Albert Paris Guetersloh and numerous works by Egon Schieles received particular attention. Although there was no unified style or artistic manifesto, manifestations of New Objectivity and post-expressionist tendencies with cubist elements are characteristic. The Hagenbund had an extremely eventful history during its almost four decades of existence, from the monarchy to the Nazi takeover of power in September 1938, which led to the dissolution of the artists' association. The latter prompted this due to overly modern and liberal artistic views, the high number of artists* with Jewish roots and a left wing among the members. Many members like Georg and Bettina Ehrlich-Bauer, Josef Floch, Carry Hauser, Lilly Steiner, Otto Rudolf Schatz or Felix Albrecht Harta had to emigrate or were murdered in a concentration camp, like Robert Kohl or Fritz Schwarz-Waldegg. Other Hagenbund members were Franz Lerch, Georg Ehrlich, Robert Philippi, Oskar Laske, Richard Lux, Karl Josef Gunsam, Heribert Potuznik, Georg Mayer-Marton, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Paul Ress Max Suppantschitsch, Rudolf Pointner and Ferdinand Stransk.
