Het Overzicht (Dutch: the Survey) was a Dutch language literary magazine published in Antwerp, Belgium, between 1921 and 1925. Until its cessation in 1925 it was the major avant-garde magazine in the country and published a total of 24 issues.[1]

History and profile

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

During its early years Het Overzicht was pro-Flemish.[5] Then it became a modernist periodical of European stature[5] and adopted a constructivist,[6] dadaist and avant-garde approach.[8] It published poems in their original languages.[3] The magazine published a special issue on Italian futurism in December 1922.[9] Michel Seuphor and Jozef Peeters were the editors of Het Overzicht of which regular contributors included Geert Grub, Georges Walz, Alice Nahon,[5] Victor Brunclair, Leo Steiner, Gaston Burssens and Michel Seuphor.[2]

The last issue of Het Overzicht was published in February 1925.[2] All issues of the magazine are archived in the Middelheim Museum, Antwerp.[2]
