History and profile

Het Overzicht was first published in June 1921.[1] [2] The magazine was subtitled as Half-Maandelijks Tijdschrift: Kunst, Letteren, Mensheid.[1] Michel Seuphor was the founder of the magazine.[3] [4] Geert Pynenburg was also functional in the foundation.[5] Its headquarters was in Antwerp.[6] [7]
