I named this tutorial's blog after a modernist magazine, Rhythm, founded by the English critic and editor John Middleton Murry in 1911. Murry was only 21 or 22 when he started the magazine. The name alludes to the philosophy of Henri Bergson, which had a huge influence on artists and intellectuals at the start of the twentieth century. Murry himself said ‘Modernism means Bergsonism in philosophy’.
The magazine published some woodcuts, like this cover image by the Scottish artist J. D. Fergusson, essays on art and literature, poetry, and fiction, including six stories by Katherine Mansfield. Rhythm has been digitized by the Modernist Journals Project, and you can look at it here.
