OBJECTS Art Associations and the Visual Style Reinhold Max Eichler (1872–1947) Cover for Jugend, V, No. 1, 1900 Colour lithograph on paper; 29.5 x 21.7 cm The literary and artistic review that gave the German form of Art Nouveau its name (Jugendstil) was published in Munich from 1896. Jugend was one of the first journals to give its cover a modern appearance with a full-page, brightly coloured illustration. The journal collaborated with a wide range of artists, with Julius Klinger, Peter Behrens, Hans Heinrich Christianson and Adolf Münzer being among the most accomplished. However, most contributors have sunk into oblivion (for even amateur drawings were printed). At the turn of the century, the magazine’s artistic importance waned and as of 1903 it had a fluctuating quality, losing its topicality.
