Dada bodies

Between battlefield and fairground

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive study of Dadaâ s images of the body in various media and geographical centres. Mask or machine-part, grotesque or iconoclastic, the bodily image is confronted as both a reflection of and on the disjunctive, dehumanised society of wartime and post-war Europe, and a blueprint of the New Man. -- .
