Rhythm (literary magazine)

The final issue under the name Rhythm was published in March 1913; in May 1913, the magazine resumed publication under the name The Blue Review.

After publishing additional issues in June and July 1913, the magazine then ceased publication.

Throughout its history, the magazine was edited by John Middleton Murry, who co-founded it with Michael Sadleir.

Its title was borrowed from a major painting of a female nude (a drawing of which appears on its front cover) by J. D. Fergusson who became its art editor.

According to arts historian Roger Neill:The aesthetic concept of "rhythm" – harmony in nature, vigour and directness – provided the connective tissue, not only between two Scottish Colourists (Fergusson and Peploe, plus Rice), but also between the writers and artists involved with the magazine.
