One of the most controversial and ironic of twentieth-century
modernisms, Dada swept through the arts after the shock of World War I,
when poets, painters, filmmakers, and performers joined forces to
challenge conventions of society and art. The only collection of its
kind, this volume includes writings by leading Dadaists: Hugo Ball, Kurt
Schwitters, Richard Huelsenbeck, Roger Vitrac, Tristan Tzara, Emmy
Hennings, Francis Picabia, and others.
