1922. Three young men establish the avant-garde magazine 7 Arts. The magazine should not only boost art, it should also focus on architecture and film as media in which all arts come together. Pierre Bourgeois, poet, and his brother Victor, architect, and Pierre-Louis Flouquet, painter, are joined shortly after the start by Georges Monier, composer, and Karel Maes, painter, engraver and furniture designer. They immediately form a connecting element in the Belgian avant-garde and the magazine is given a place in the heart of the European avant-garde. In the six years of publication of the magazine, therefore, the main actors of the Belgian and international art scene are discussed: De Stijl, the Bauhaus, the purists, the constructivists, the futurists and many other advocates of geometric abstraction, pure plastic to them. The driving forces behind the magazine want to allow art to penetrate all dimensions of modern city life and to change this thoroughly.
