Ver Sacrum (“Sacred Spring” in Latin) was the official magazine communicating the artistic and creative ideals of the Vienna Secession. Conceived and founded by Gustav Klimt and Max Kurzweil, the periodical had a six-year run from 1898 through 1903 and comprised drawings and graphic designs in the style of the Secession movement together with literary contributions from distinguished European writers. The magazine is renowned for its contribution to typography, illustration, and graphic design; and was responsible for reshaping ideas about and influencing magazine (and magazine advertising) and book design to the present day.
