Title
DADADAY!
Subject
Description
Two-sided poster. Front has black text and drawings on a beige background, along with a red and black photograph in the top third. Text includes: "...the human figure is progresively [sic] disappearing from pictorial art and no object is present except in fragmentary form. This is one more proof that the human countenance has become ugly and outworn, and that things which surround us have become objects of revulsion. The next step is for poetry to discard language as painting has discarded the object, and for similar reasons. Nothing like this has ever existed before. - Hugo Ball; Diary entry, March 1917"; February 5, 1976 8:00 PM Celebrate with us, the 60th anniversary of the Cabaret Voltaire, which opened in Zurich, Switzerland; February 5, 1916; and gave birth to a new and discomforting artform known from then on as DaDa.
