In the fall of 1880, Viennese art students began meeting weekly at the pub Zum blauen Freihaus, owned by the art connoisseur Joseph Hagen. He would inspire the Hagen Society, a loose association of artists in Vienna that is now regarded as a predecessor to the Secession and the Hagenbund. In 1905, the Hagen Society donated over 800 of their members’ artworks to the Albertina Museum. Finally, 120 years later, the museum is mounting an exhibition drawn from the group’s gift. Featuring work by artists such as Josef Engelhardt, Adolf Böhm, Rudolf Bacher, and Johann Victor Krämer, the show includes watercolors, drawings, dreamscapes, portraits, and caricatures that are inching into Viennese Modernism. —Charlie St John
