History and profile.
"Tilskueren" was established in 1884. The founder and first editor was Niels Neergaard, future prime minister of Denmark. The magazine had its headquarters in Copenhagen. "Tilskueren" significantly influenced the Finnish cultural magazine, "Valvoja".
Georg Brandes, Martinus Galschiøt and Johannes Jørgensen were among the contributors. Johannes Jørgensen who would launch an arts and literary magazine in October 1893, namely "Taarnet", published a manifesto on his approach towards symbolism in the magazine in September 1891.

Tom Kristensen started his career as a literary reviewer and critic in "Tilskueren" in May 1923. An excerpt from Amalie Skram's first novel, "Constance Ring", was published in the magazine in 1885. Paul Gauguin's exhibition in Copenhagen's Frie Udstilling exhibition hall in March 1893 was positively reviewed in the magazine by Karl Madsen.
