Raoul Hausmann

Every time i look back to paintings, or pictures from Dada I regret I wasn't there when it all happened and regret that it could only last such a short period of time. Swiss writer/painter/photographer Raoul Haussmann is probably the keyfigure in the dada story.
From the 1920's until The 1940's (main works) he makes pieces that translate his will to change the emotional state of mind to a mechanical state. But the real idea of dada was in fact an idea of dynamics, and wanting to keep changing things, just like they wanted to do with art, changing the idea of art by making art, without calling it art.


Art is dead. Long live Dada.'
