The Belgian avant-garde magazine Het Overzicht (Overview) formed the Belgian counterpart to Herwarth Walden's The Tempest and published articles and images by important European Constructivists. This image was printed in issue 22-23-24, in a spread from the final "Cabaret" issue. There is also a proof printed on tissue (see Swann sale 2433, Lot 178).
