Astronomische Neujahrsnacht Erscheinung der Deutsche Schütze (Sagittarius) Töt den Engl. Wassermann (Aquarius) Astronomical New Year's Eve Page from Weimar art nouveau magazine "Jugend" (youth).
As the early Arts and Crafts ambitions faded and German Art Nouveau took hold of the magazine's aesthetic, iconic imagery of nude youth in idealized nature scenes were depicted more frequently. Along with other symbols of nature at its most magical — nymphs, centaurs, and satyrs — the associations between Jugendstil and the Lebensreform ('life reform') movement, which encouraged a return to a "natural" life-style, grew. In addition to modern illustrations and the ornamentation of Art Nouveau, the magazine featured impressionist and expressionist art, as well.
The journal also covered satirical and critical topics in culture, such as the increasing influence of the churches (especially Catholicism), and the political right in the Centre Party. The Yale Literary Magazine critic summarized the editorial attitude by noting that "Jugend's political and social platform [was] one opposition—opposition to everything." [wikipedia]
