“A magazine devoted to the furtherance of modernism ought not to defend.. it should ridicule the aesthetic feebleness of its opponents. It should mock their timidity, put the boot in with disdain.” Jonathan Meades

In June 2011 the modernist magazine was born. We published our very first issue with a foreword by Jonathan Meades at the quite extraordinary price of £3.75.

Well.. now its back and at the original cover price, albeit in digital download form.

If you missed it the first time, you too can enjoy the Big, Bold and Steaming cooling towers of Agecroft, eat tripe with Eddy Rhead and explore Liverpool’s lost future.

Other digital issues are available here.

*due do Covid-19 restrictions we are currently unable to distribute our printed magazine, so why not join us in taking a fresh view of issue no.1 - and in doing so, help to ensure future print issues of the modernist. Thank you.*
