Overview

Dada's defiant vision lives on Raoul Hausmann fought convention all his life. Radically resolved to be ""unscrupulously honest"" in both art and life, the Dadaist was a multimedia activist of the first hour and a sharp-tongued critic of society. Now his visionary output can be enjoyed in all its breadth. With some 270 illustrations, this catalogue from the Berlinische Galerie traces his path: the early Expressionist works, gems of Dada from the Berlin years, Hausmann's photography, but also fashion, dance and literature, and the artist's lesser-known productivity in exile. Fourteen essays by international experts in the history of art and literature, media studies, and psychoanalysis examine the multilayered oeuvre to offer a multifaceted panorama of Hausmann's astonishing significance-even today.

Author Information

Raoul Hausmann (1886-1971) was an exceptionally innovative avant-garde artist. He co-invented collage, explored body, words, and space in early happenings, merged the visual with the haptic, and translated sound into images. In and beyond art, the provocative ""Dadasoph"" called out the establishment. Includes texts by Hanne Bergius, Peter Bexte, Ralf Burmeister, Amélie Castellanet, Annina Guntli, Nadine Hartmann, Karoline Hille, Thomas Köhler, Annelie Lütgens, Agatha Mareuge, Nils Philipages, Bernd Stiegler, Adrian Sudhalter, Hélène Thiérard, Timm Ulrichs, Michael White.
