Decorative Kunst ( L'Art Decoratif ) - Julius Meier-Graefe

Julius Meier-Graefe (La Maison Moderne) et Hugo Bruckman
F. Bruckmann A.-G. Munchen

Deutsche Ausgabe: October 1897 - 1929

Unter diesen beiden Titeln gab der wohl einflussreichste Vermittler, Julius Meier-Graefe, zwischen deutscher und franzosischer Kunst um die Jahrhundertwende Zeitschriften heraus, jeweils unterstatzt von Henry van de Velde, mit denen er dem Publikum beider LÃnder seine Vision von "moderner Kunst" plausibel machen wollte.



This magazine gave considerable coverage to the work of leading European designers, including Ashbee, Benson, Endell, Morris, and van de Velde. Although he mixed in artistic circles in Berlin, Meier-Graefe was also well acquainted with many designers including Morris and Aubrey Beardsley, whom he met on a visit to England in 1893, Samuel Bing, and van de Velde, whom he met on visits to Paris and Brussels in 1895. In its early years Meier-Graefe (under a pseudonym) wrote a high proportion of the articles in Dekorative Kunst, although from around 1905 he began to distance himself from such practices.
