Arthur Lehning (1899–2000)

Arthur Müller Lehning published i10 International Revue from 1927 to 1929 with a stellar roster of contributing editors: J. J. P. Oud (Architecture), Willem Pijper (Music) and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (Film and Photo).

“The international review i10 will be an organ of the modern mind, a documentation of the new streams in art, science, philosophy, and sociology. It will give an opportunity to express the renewal of one domain with that of another and it aims as large a connection as large as show more possible between these different domains. As this monthly asserts no dogmatic tendencies nor represents any party neither anygroup, the contents will not always have a complete homogeneous character and will be mostly more informative than following at one line of thought. Its idea is to give a general view of the renewal which is now accomplishing itself in culture and it is open, international, for all wherein it is expressed.”—Arthur Müller Lehning, 1927
