The earlier the date of publication, the more striking and daring the richness in subjects, design, typography and covers. To quote H.Th. Wijdeveld, the general editor: "Zij hebben de frisheid van het gedurfde, niet gebonden en zingen hun 'illusies van de komende schoonheid'". For a complete overview consult Le Coultre, Wendingen 1918-1932 (Blaricum/ New York, 2001); with on p.6: "Looking back at the twentieth century, one sees in Wendingen a compelling model of design practice, singular in the intensity of its focus and the originality of its aesthetic form. Nothing in the evolution of avant-garde art and design matches the sustained and impassioned visual inquiry of this magazine." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXI.
