Edited by Jean Dypréau, Philippe d'Arschot, Théodore Koenig, Serge Vandercam, Jean Verbruggen. With contributions by the editors and among others Beckett, Bryen, Butor, Dotremont (who also did the lay-out of last issue), Havrenne, Marcel Lecomte, Michaux, Paz, Edoardo Sanguinetti. Original lithograph by Karel Appel as cover for first issue; last issue with cover by Cy Twombly. With reproductions mainly of post-Cobra and informal artists, arte nucleare (such as Alechinsky, Baj, Corneille, Dangelo, Fautrier, Hérold, Messagier, Van Anderlecht, Bram van Velde, Pomodoro, Saura, Tajiri) the magazine tried to discover a perspective in the unclear evolution of European art at the end of the 1950's. Collaborations with sympathizing poets were a central part of this experiment, as they had been in the history of the avant-garde. Plus also reveals Belgium as a sort of crossroads of influences and a place less occupied by the culture-industry than Paris.
