History

See also: Berlin Secession and Jugendstil

Co-founded by Richard Dehmel and published from 1895 to 1900 in Berlin[3] by Otto Julius Bierbaum and Julius Meier-Graefe, the group only ended up publishing three issues.[4][5]

In 1910, the magazine was revived by Berlin gallery owner and art dealer Paul Cassirer who went on to publish contributors like Frank Wedekind, Georg Heym, Ernst Barlach and Franz Marc with his Pan-Presse imprint. Cassirer's avant-garde taste in print reflected his gallery work. He was the first to exhibit Manet, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin in Germany, and he championed the work of the Impressionists' German counterparts, also showing Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann and Lesser Ury.[6]

This group, along with Barlach, Kandinsky, and Beckmann eventually made up the core of the Berlin Secession, artists who rejected traditional art styles then advanced by both academia and officials, and created the foundation of Modernism.

In 1912, Alfred Kerr took over the publication of the magazine, and it appeared only sporadically until its demise in 1915.[2]

An influential arbiter of culture, Pan printed stories and poems, in the emerging

Naturalist movements, by authors such as Otto Julius Bierbaum, Max Dauthendey, Richard Dehmel and Arno Holz. It also played an important role in the development of German Art Nouveau, by cultivating a stable of both well-known and unknown artists, including Franz von Stuck, Félix Vallotton, and Thomas Theodor Heine
