Wendingen was an influential Dutch art and architecture journal published from 1918 to 1932, notable for its avant-garde design and eclectic content that covered a wide range of artistic movements. Initially edited by architect Hendrik Wijdeveld and associated with the Amsterdam School, the magazine's focus was on promoting modernist architecture, design, and the decorative arts, featuring work by prominent figures like Frank Lloyd Wright, Diego Rivera, Gustav Klint, Eileen Gray, and El Lissitzky. Each issue of Wendingen was a work of art in itself, with striking typography and innovative layouts that were integrated into the overall design.
