During its early years Het Overzicht was pro-Flemish.[5] Then it became a modernist periodical of European stature[5] and adopted a constructivist,[6] dadaist and avant-garde approach.[8] It published poems in their original languages.[3] The magazine published a special issue on Italian futurism in December 1922.[9] Michel Seuphor and Jozef Peeters were the editors of Het Overzicht of which regular contributors included Geert Grub, Georges Walz, Alice Nahon,[5] Victor Brunclair, Leo Steiner, Gaston Burssens and Michel Seuphor.[2]
