Text contributions by i.a. Walden, Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Blaise Cendrars, and reproduced works by Gösta Adrian-Nilsson, Archipenko, Rudolf Bauer, Boccioni, Campendonk, Carra, Chagall, Robert Delauney, Max Ernst, Gleizes, van Heemskerck, Jawlensky, Kandinsky, Klee, Kokoschka, Kubin, Léger, Macke, Franz Marc, Metzinger, Gabriele Münter, Picasso, Severini, and others.
