Discord within the Secession ultimately led to a further schism in 1910 and the new group called itself the New Secession. In 1914 the rejection of works by some members of the Berlin Secession again led to quarrels. Several artists left the Berlin Secession to found the Free Secession, which existed until 1924, again with Max Liebermann as president. The Berlin Secession was in existence until 1933.
