"Wochenschrift für Kunst und Leben" (Weekly for Art and Life) is a title, not a specific publication. It refers to a type of periodical that focuses on both artistic expression and aspects of daily life. Several publications have used variations of this title or similar themes. One notable example is "Jugend," a Munich-based illustrated weekly founded by Georg Hirth. It ran from 1896 to 1940.
