For the Berlin Dadaists, their identity as a collective-Club Dada,
to members-was an integral part of their artistic practice. But the
circumstances that brought together the likes of George Grosz, John
Heartfield, Raoul Hausmann, and Johannes Baader-renamed Propaganda
Marshall, Monteurdada, Dadasoph, and Oberdada within the
organization-have remained largely unexamined until now. Drawing on
extensive archival research, this book documents the group's
beginnings in wartime Berlin and reveals how these relationships
influenced its provocative acts, which were inextricably tied to
the era's chaos and brutality. Studying how the Dadaists saw
themselves as a new generation-in contrast to their pacifist
forebears, the Expressionists-the book sheds light on key
developments and events, such as the First International Dada Fair,
held in Berlin in 1920. It also offers the first serious
consideration of the group's role in constructing its own legacy,
even as the works were deliberately rooted in the ephemeral.
