Exhibition Label: "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts," Mar-2010, Steve Goddard Zeit-Echo appeared at the outset of hostilities as a vehicle for artistic and literary response to the War. It was produced in a handsome chapbook format, each with a cover woodcut by Max Unold. Zeit-Echo was initially open to all perspectives on the War but it increasingly voiced a pacifist perspective; in its third year, under the editorial leadership of Ludwig Rubiner, it relocated to Bern in neutral Switzerland. The artists represented in Zeit Echo included René Beeh, Willi Geiger, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, Richard Seewald, Max Unold, and others. Literary contributors included Max Brod, Martin Buber, Hugo von Hofmannstahl, Klabund, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Paul Scheerbart.
