(Strength <strong>and</strong> Beauty), the back <strong>of</strong> a nude male in a body building like situation.<br />
While this relatively inexpensively produced journal was at the edge <strong>of</strong> the<br />
beauty <strong>and</strong> the physical culture movements, the journal Die Schönheit (Beauty)<br />
which was started in 1902 soon became the voice <strong>of</strong> the beauty movement. It<br />
was expensively produced on glossy paper with many coloured prints. The<br />
purpose was expressed in the first editorial:<br />
Created for free <strong>and</strong> noble women <strong>and</strong> men the Schönheit will become a modern<br />
journal in the service <strong>of</strong> classical ideals. We will cultivate everything which will<br />
make human existence pleasant, honorable, <strong>and</strong> sunny: the beauty <strong>of</strong> the body, <strong>of</strong><br />
dress, <strong>of</strong> the home <strong>and</strong> public environment, love <strong>and</strong> joy, dance <strong>and</strong> play, the arts<br />
<strong>and</strong> good education, health <strong>and</strong> naturality, moral <strong>and</strong> social enyouthment. We<br />
want to ennoble the sensual thinking <strong>and</strong> to fight earnestly <strong>and</strong> seriously against<br />
false shame when we consider it dangerous. 23<br />
