Ruf, Der#

Ruf, Der, magazine of early Austrian expressionism, published in Vienna by the Academic Association for Literature and Music; the five issues published in 1912-1913 provided an important forum for the avant-garde movement. In his essays, E. Muehsam spoke out against bourgeois society, R. Mueller invoked a heroic era full of vitality. From a literary point of view the publication distinguished itself by employing everyday language usage in its writings. O. Kokoschka, G. Klimt, E. Schiele and M. Jung contributed many of the illustrations.
