L’Art libre was a literary magazine which was published in Brussels between 1919 and 1922. The magazine is known for its support for the Clarté-ideology.
L’Art libre was established in Brussels in 1919.[1] Paul Colin was the founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine. Its editorial board included both Dutch- and French-speaking individuals.[1] The magazine was published in French on a biweekly basis.[2]
L’Art libre was one of the mouthpieces of the Clarté movement founded by Paul Vaillant-Couturier in France and had an internationalist stance. It frequently featured the French translations of the literary work by international authors.[1] In the early 1920 the magazine published three essays by Ezra Pound.[2]
L’Art libre folded in June 1922.[3] Its successor was the Europe magazine which was started immediately after the closure of L’Art libre.[3]
