According to Karl Toepfer "Publications of the Verlag der Sch�nheit� perhaps the largest of all Nacktkultur publishing houses concentrated on linking nudism with a modern aestheticism with an art of bodily display and expression� Perhaps its most significant publication was the journal DIE SCH�NHEIT founded in 1903 by Karl Vanselow 1876-1959 the husband of Olga Desmond. From its beginning DIE SCH�NHEIT presented nudism as an extension of modernism in the visual and performing arts. In prewar issues of the journal which Vanselow edited until 1914 symbolist and Jugendstil paintings of nude bodies particularly the immensely popular illustrations of mythic primeval Nordic nudity by Fidus appeared almost as models for dramatic poses assumed by nude bodies of both sexes in photographs. The journal pioneered in the publication of photographs that depicted men and women nude together� After the war however DIE SCH�NHEIT's editors placed much more confidence in photography's ability to establish its own themes. Images from film theatre and especially dance filled many of the journal's pages along with photographs devised by artists quite conscious of modernist currents in that medium. DIE SCH�NHEIT published photographs by Lotte Herrlich and Magnus Weidemann but it consistently perceived the power of nude modern dance to intensify the aesthetic significance of nudism and the artistic exposure of the body� Other issues celebrated the solo nude dances of Claire Bauroff or of the female members of the Loheland Menzler or Hagemann schools." quote from EMPIRE OF ECSTASY : NUDITY AND MOVEMENT IN GERMAN BODY CULTURE 1910-1935.
