Product Description

Review

"A rich feast for historians, art lovers and devotees of esoteric literature."--"Publishers Weekly

Product Description

Hugo Ball (1886-1927)--poet, philosopher, novelist, cabaret performer, journalist, and mystic--was a man extremely sensitive to the currents of his time. In February 1916 he founded the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. The sound poems and performance art by Ball and the other artists who gathered there were the beginnings of Dada. Ball's extraordinary diaries, edited by John Elderfield, are here available in English in paperback for the first time, along with Elderfield's critical introduction and a new afterword, the original Dada manifesto, and a new selected bibliography of works by and about Hugo Ball and general works on Dada.

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult. beautiful, underappreciated genius, 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary (Documents of Twentieth-Century Art) (Paperback)
Long before the beat movement or the hippies comes such a beautiful work from one of the most honest and daring individuals to ever live and then be forgotten in this world. The title says it best. Hugo Ball is probably the most important guide (in my life). You should read this and see if any of it rubs off on you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book..., 5 May 2009
By C. S. Cross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary (Documents of Twentieth-Century Art) (Paperback)
A great book that no one has heard of. I like his writing style and the idea of the dada movement in general. His anti-establishment stance is great as he plays devil's advocate throughout the book questioning whether the state/system can really be abolished. Great mind around at a great period in history.
