Blue Review

A very short-lived modernist art magazine that only lasted for 3 editions between May and July 1913. Edited by John Middleton Murry with Katherine Mansfield as associate editor it attempted to be a successor to Rhythm Group of which Murry and Mansfield were also editors. Murry conceived the Blue Review as 'the Yellow Book of the Modern Movement', although in truth it doesn’t really stand up to comparison with its Fin de siècle predecessor, or Rhythm for that matter. It included writings by Mansfield, D.H. Lawrence, Max Beerbohm, Walter de la Mare, James Elroy Flecker, W.H. Davies and Rupert Brooke. Artists whose work is illustrated include X. Marcel Boulstein, Stanley Spencer, G.S. Lightfoot, J.D. Innes, Frances Jennings, Max Berbohm, Ambrose McEvoy, Derwent Lees, Norman Wilkinson, and Harold Squire.
