Notes
One of a total of 40 issues that were published from 1924 to 1927. Contains contributions by i.a. H. VAN DE VELDE and G. SEVERINI. The plates showing illustrations of works by Braque, De Chirico, Gromaire, Léger, Picasso etc. Gallery owner and editor Léon Rosenberg (1879-1947) was one of the first propagandists of cubist art, and started collecting works by i.a. Braque, Gris, Léger and Picasso at an early point, thus mentally and financially supporting the artists. In 1918 he opened his gallery "L'Effort Moderne" and organized exhitions of i.a. Laurens, Léger, Braque, Gris, Picasso, Mondrian and Picabia. In 1941 he was forced to close his gallery due to the antisemitic laws.
