Taarnet (Danish: The Tower) was a monthly art and literary magazine founded and edited by Johannes Jørgensen in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was subtitled as Illustreret Tidsskrift for Kunst og Litteratur (Danish: Illustrated Magazine for Arts and Literature). The magazine was one of the early avant-garde publications[1] and the major representative of symbolism in Denmark. It existed for one year between 1893 and 1894.[2][3]

History and profile

Johannes Jørgensen, founder and editor of Taarnet

Taarnet was founded in 1893 by Johannes Jørgensen who formulated his symbolism approach in the publication.[4][5] The title of the magazine was a reference to both the poetic meaning of tower and the tower in Jørgensen's apartment in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen.[5] In his autobiography Jørgensen stated that Taarnet was established in the name of Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine.[6] The first issue appeared in October 1893.[4] The magazine which was published on a monthly basis featured articles on Danish and international symbolist literature and visual art.[4][6]

As stated above Jørgensen described his own version of symbolism in Taarnet and argued "all genuine art is and becomes symbolic."[5] Furthermore, in the magazine Jørgensen replied the critics of his manifesto that he had published in another Danish magazine, Tilskueren.[7] The mission of Taarnet was to provide a connection between French and Danish symbolism, and nearly twenty percent of all articles published in the magazine were translations of French symbolists.[6]

In his articles Jørgensen also supported more mystical and spiritual ways of life.[8] Another notable contributor of the monthly was Sophus Claussen.[5] Danish writer Viggo Stuckenberg published the first scene of his play Den vilde Jæger in the magazine[1] which also featured early drawings by Svend Hammershøi.[5] Other major Danish writers associated with the magazine were Sophus Michaëlis, Mogens Ballin and Jens Ferdinand Willumsen.[1]

Taarnet folded in September 1894 after producing nine issues.[4][6]
