Dada

Meer over het boek

This comprehensive volume stands as the definitive study of the influential but deliberately elusive international Dada movement of the early twentieth century. Organized according to the primary city centers where this shifting, quintessentially avant-garde movement emerged, it features the work of 40 key artists, both infamous and lesser-known, including Louis Aragon, Hans Arp, Hugo Ball, André Breton, Otto Dix, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Man Ray, Tristan Tzara, and Kurt Schwitters, among others, in media spanning painting, sculpture, photography, collage, photomontage, prints, and graphic work. It contains hundreds of reproductions of works that had, until a major traveling exhibition, mostly never been seen together. Documentary images, topical essays, and an illustrated chronology of the movement make this volume uniquely essential, along with chronicles of events in each city center, a selected bibliography, and biographies of each artist, accompanied by Dada-era photographs.
