This issue includes the first published writings by Gertrude Stein, wherein she pens two essays discussing the work of Matisse and Picasso. It was largely through these two essays that Americans were first introduced to these two artists. This issue begins with an Editorial by the Editor (Stieglitz) wherein he states the reason for this issue is to (through Stein's essays) Introduce Post-Impressionism as the chronological successor to Impressionism. The two photographs of Picasso sculptures were taken by Stieglitz. There are three sheets of ads at the rear, following the plates.
