Though it quickly abandoned that schedule the little mag soon became an important outlet for beat literature and is now one of the defining publications of the early mimeo revolution. As Bob Kaufman put it: "Designed to extoll beauty and promote the beatific life among the various mendicants neo-existentialists christs poets painters musicians and other inhabitants and observers of North Beach." Originally printed out of the Bread and Wine Mission run by Congregationalist minister Pierre Delattre who also published in Beatitude the magazine included the work of its founders as well as Jack Kerouac Michael McClure and numerous other notable San Francisco poets and writers. This issue marks the first under the auspices of City Lights and features Allen Ginsberg Jack Spicer Bob Kaufman Philip Whalen Lawrence Ferlinghetti and others. All issues of BEATITUDE's original run it ceased publication in the early 1960s but resumed in the late are now rare. Clay and Phillips 80-81. City Lights Books paperback books

To begin with lyricism and poetic symbolism dominated the visual arts. Jan Preisler one of the most important figures of the time created sensual paintings and sculptures based on themes connected to the writings of such Czech authors as Zeyer and Brezina. Other artists such as Kobliha and Hlavácek focused on turbulent forms dramatic expressions of torment and the macabre. In the applied arts exuberant floral and vegetal motifs were gradually transformed into geometric patterns.Prague 1900 charts the effects of the emergence of modernism and the search for Czech national identity in both the fine and the applied arts as well as in architecture music and literature. The book also includes a wealth of illustrations of interiors architectural and sculptural details and documentary photographs.
