Product Description
Product Description
Each book in Taschen's Basic Art movement and genre series includes a detailed Introduction with approximately 30 photographs, plus a timeline of the most important events (political, cultural, scientific, sporting, etc.) that took place during the time period. The body of the book contains 35 of the most important works of the epoch; each is presented on a 2-page spread with a full page Image and, on the facing page, a description/interpretation of the work, portrait of the artist, and biographical information. A precursor to surrealism, the Dada movement stressed the absurd and unpredictable, lashing out against traditional standards of aesthetics. Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray were among the most famous proponents of Dada, creating works that dared viewers to expand their notions of what can be considered art.

Excellent Book; Covered What Was Vital
16 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
I did my senior research paper on Dadaism and found this book to be exceptionally helpful. This book covered the Dada scene In Europe: Hanover, Cologne, Paris, Zurich. As well as within America from Man Ray, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp. Though all of these section were quite condensed but provided what was vital for my research paper. This section covered about 7+ pages of this information. The rest were illustrations of Dadaist works like Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and much much more. It also included mini biographies of the Dadaists.
Overall this book was exceptionally helpful for the time schedule I forced myself under.
