Kunst und Künstler: illustrierte Monatsschrift für bildende Kunst und Kunstgewerbe was a German periodical, that shaped the reception of art during the first third of the 20th century.^[1] It was in circulation between 1902 and 1933.^[2]

Founded by Bruno Cassirer in Berlin-Tiergarten as probably his best-known publication, the monthly soon became the most influential publication for the art-interested public. It appeared from volume 1 (1902/03) to volume 32 (1933) under the initial editorship of Emil Heilbut [de] and Cäsar Flaischlen. From 1907 it was edited by the art critic and publicist Karl Scheffler, a committed advocate of contemporary European art.^[3] Thanks in part to his journalistic influence, the art movement of Impressionism, which was still highly controversial in Germany in the years before World War I, was increasingly accepted by the public of the time.

In terms of content, the magazine was devoted exclusively to the visual arts, publishing primarily reviews and critiques of works that were simultaneously printed as reproductions in the issues. Illustrations and original prints by participating artists such as Arnold Böcklin, Anselm Feuerbach, Max Klinger, Max Liebermann, Giovanni Segantini, Max Slevogt, Hans Thoma, Wilhelm Trübner, and Karl Walser, some of whom also appeared as authors, marked the special feature of this periodical. In addition, contributions on art history, art theory, and scientific topics by renowned experts appeared regularly; the number and significance of which ensured the lasting reputation and success of this monthly magazine and document its standing to this day.

After the Nazis seized power, the journal was discontinued. The last issue was published in January 1933.
