Original modernist design wrappers by Finnish artist Torger Enckell. No. 1 Illustrated with graphical drawings by Rabbe Enckell, Ina Behtsen, Hjalmar Hagelstam and artworks reproductions by Torger Enckell. Quosego was cult Swedish-language modernist magazine. In the 1920s modernism in Swedish literature had its strongest hold and its most prominent representatives in the Swedish-speaking part of Finland - Elmer Diktonius, Hagar Olsson, Gunnar Björling, Rabbe Enckell became a driving forces of Quosego. Also contributed to Quosego such well-known Finnish writers as Olof Enckell, Henry Parland, Kerstin Söderholm, Barbo Mörne. The contents of Quosego covered two main areas - poetry and prose by the leading modernists accompanied by critical essays trying to explain and defend the new modernist aesthetics. It did not stand out as ostentatiously modernist in design or layout. Illustrations were used but did not play a prominent role. It was a forum for an emerging generation of modernist writers. Quosego was edited by academic and translator Cid Erik Tallqvist who was well read in modernist literature. The first magazine number was printed in an edition of 900 copies. The most energetic contributors to Quosego were Rabbe Enckell and Gunnar Björling. Enckell emerged as an important modernist theoretician. His articles formed a central thread throughout in which he tried to explain and justify the new modernist writing, often in outspoken opposition to its conservative adversaries. These articles have in time become classic documents in the history of modernist aesthetics. Björing was probably the most radical of all the modernist contributors to Quosego. In his articles he argued for a paradoxical fusion of a boundless acceptance of life and stern ethnical choices. The last two magazine numbers contained poetry from the modernist generation that was emerging in Sweden at the end of 1920s - Artur Lundkvist, Erik Asklund, Josef Kjellgren and Harry Martinson. The magazine, then, formed a bridge over the Baltic between the Finland-Swedish avant-garde and the modernist movement that was beginning to gather in Sweden.
