Product Description

Product Description
In this first-hand account, the author, closely associated with the radical and transforming movement from its earliest days, records and traces Dada's history from its inception around 1916, in wartime Zurich, to its collapse in the Paris of the 1920s.

From the Back Cover
'One of the best and most consistently interesting documents on this extraordinary movement that has been published.' The Sunday Times

'A first-rate history, objective and sober.' The Times

'Hans Richter is the ideal chronicler.' The Guardian

'Where and how Dada began is almost as difficult to determine as Homer's birthplace,' writes Hans Richter, the artist and film-maker closely associated with this radical movement from its earliest days. Here he records and traces Dada's history, from its inception in wartime Zurich, to its collapse in Paris in the 1920's when many of its members were to join the Surrealist movement, to the present day when its spirit re-emerged in the 1960's in movements such as Pop Art. This absorbing eye witness narrative is enlivened by extensive use of Dada documents, illustrations and texts by fellow Dadaists. The complex personalities, relationships and contributions of, among others, Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Picabia, Arp, Schwitters, Hausmann, Duchamp, Ernst and Man Ray, are vividly brought to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to Dada., 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is, in my opinion, the best introduction to what was arguably the 20th Century's most fascinating artistic movement. Why is it the best introduction? For one, it is purely on the subject of Dadaism, which is so often coupled with the much more general subject of Surrealism. Secondly, Hans Richter was genuinely involved in the movement, and is therefore suitably enthusiastic, and well versed on its every detail. Add to this the very affordable price and the comprehensive selection of illustrations and facsimiles, and 'Dada: Art and Anti-Art' becomes an invaluable document for anyone vaguely interested in the movement. The book was written in the early 60's, and it remains the definitive introduction to the world of Dada.

4.0 out of 5 stars an intriguing account of an even more intriguing art movemen, 2 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Before I picked up the book,the word Dada meant very little to me - what it stood for and whom it atracted. written from an entirely biased view (ie. a dadaist himself), the book certainly submerges the reader into the intricacy of the movement. you learn and you learn quickly, statements are not justified by the author - what is written is simply the case.
