Edited by two young painters concerned with the dissemination of information and illustrations of modern art in a world mostly hostile to it, this anthology of essays by leading artists and musicians of the day and reproductions of many kinds of art provided a common spiritual basis for European members of the Blaue Reiter movement to seek an expansion of the traditional boundaries of artistic expression -- in Wassily Kandinsky's words, "... to tear down the walls between the arts" and create a total, international synthesis of culture.
