History and profile

edit

L’Art libre was established in Brussels in 1919.[1] Paul Colin was the founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine.[2] Its editorial board included both Dutch- and French-speaking individuals.[1] The magazine was published in French on a biweekly basis.[3]

L’Art libre was one of the mouthpieces of the Clarté movement founded by Paul Vaillant-Couturier in France and had an internationalist stance.[2] It frequently featured the French translations of the literary work by international authors.[1] In the early 1920 the magazine published three essays by Ezra Pound.[3]

L’Art libre folded in June 1922.[2] Its successor was the Europe magazine which was started immediately after the closure of L’Art libre.[2]
