Description: Jugend – Münchner illustrierte Wochenschrift für Kunst und Leben (German for 'Youth – Munich illustrated weekly for art and life') (1896–1940) was an influential German arts magazine. Founded in Munich by Georg Hirth who edited it until his death in 1916, the weekly was originally intended to showcase German Arts and Crafts, but became famous for showcasing the German version of Art Nouveau instead. It was also famed for its "shockingly brilliant covers and radical editorial tone" and for its avant-garde influence on German arts and culture for decades, ultimately launching the eponymous Jugendstil ('Youth Style') movement in Munich, Weimar, and Darmstadt's Darmstadt Artists' Colony.
