Avant-garde and modernist magazines

Back cover of MA 8:1, Vienna, 1922. Back cover of Noi II/1:6-9, Rome, 1924.

There are two common answers. In their day avant-garde magazines had been the closest to medium-specific publishing. Although most of them are well known and indeed--worth a lot--today, only a few journals had any significant impact outside the avant-garde circles in their time. In the decades after World War II they turned into a domain of art and literary historians who consulted them in libraries and hard-to-access private collections. The International Dada Archive affiliated with The University of Iowa Libraries has been instrumental in introducing a general audience to many avant-garde magazines through its Digital Dada Library Collection.

Then, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected pixels onto a new layer. Go back to the Select menu and choose Color Range again.
