A complete set of this artist periodical, founded and directed by Théodore Koenig, Joseph Noiret, Désiré Viardot, later with Gabriel & Marcel Piqueray.

The best and most influential periodical for the artistic and literary avant-garde in Belgium after the War. Several issues are double or triple-issues, and are devoted to particular topics. Issues of special note include no. 50, Robert Filiou/Gianni Bertini, complete with the roulette (Poème à jouer Roulette by Filliou) on page 3 perfectly intact, and the covers designed by Gianni Bertini; L’Art Naif; L’Amour; L’Humour vert (31/34); La nature; Italie; Homo Ludens; La Mémoire; Le Coeur. Several issues deal with one author or artist: M. Havrenne, Colinet, Permantier, Broodthaers (No. 62), Pansaers, Koenig, Noiret, Puttemans, etc.

The numbers 10, 15/16, 22, 23, 31/34 and 41/42 are noted for their unusual and striking cover designs, which are (despite their fragility) perfectly conserved in this set.
Various sizes, 8vo or 4to. Numerous illustrations throughout. Original pictorial wrappers.
