Dadism and the Disasters of War

R. Bruce Elder

Here I examine in some detail two artistic movements that extolled the value of escaping reason’s enfeebling effects. In the first of these chapters, I challenge the view of DADA as chiefly a negative or protest movement, and to counter that view, I demonstrate that spiritual themes had a important place in DADA and that they steered it towards constructive ends.
