History and profile

Klingen was established in 1917 and the first issue appeared in October 1917.[1][2] The founder was the painter and graphic artist Axel Salto.[1][3] The magazine was based in Copenhagen.[4] It was considered to be a significant vehicle for the entrance of modernism in Denmark.[2][5] In addition, it was instrumental in expanding avant-garde art into Nordic countries.[1] The magazine had significant effects on painters, writers and intellectuals.[4] The artists attached to the magazine had an optimistic view following World War I, and argued that the beauty in art had social and political significance in that it provided a means in understanding and responding to the chaotic situation of post-war Europe.[4]

Major contributors included Otto Gelsted, Emil Bønnelycke, Poul Henningsen and Sophus Danneskjold-Samsøe.[1] Klingen ceased publication in November 1920 and a total of thirty-six issues was published.[2] In 1942 an anniversary issue was published.[2]

Several issues of Klingen were digitized by the Royal Library of Denmark in 1996.[6]

gollark: On the plus side, the fix is actually quite easy.
gollark: I like Warp's design, but OH POTATO OS THE TYPE ERRORS.
gollark: I mean, what does any of this mean?!?!?!
gollark: the trait bound `impl core::future::future::Future: warp::reply::Reply` is not satisfiedthe trait `warp::reply::Reply` is not implemented for `impl core::future::future::Future`note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `warp::reply::Reply` for `(impl core::future::future::Future,)`note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `warp::reply::Reply` for `warp::generic::Either<(impl core::future::future::Future,), (impl warp::reply::Reply,)>`note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `warp::reply::Reply` for `(warp::generic::Either<(impl core::future::future::Future,), (impl warp::reply::Reply,)>,)`note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `warp::reply::Reply` for `warp::generic::Either<(warp::filters::fs::File,), (warp::generic::Either<(impl core::future::future::Future,), (impl warp::reply::Reply,)>,)>`note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `warp::reply::Reply` for `(warp::generic::Either<(warp::filters::fs::File,), (warp::generic::Either<(impl core::future::future::Future,), (impl warp::reply::Reply,)>,)>,)`
gollark: If I change one line in my Rust code I can make it generate extremely incomprehensible type errors fairly easily.
