Product Description
Review
Indispensable for any library concerned with art, language, and theater in the early 20th century. -- Choice
[Dadas] influence remains apparent in the paradoxes and processes of absurdist theater; for example, conceptual art, and the use of chance in various media . . . . It may be hard sometimes to see through the Dadists display of nonsense to their true intentions. But this document confirms just how serious some of those intentions were. -- Christian Science Monitor

Book Description
Huelsenbeck's memoirs bring to life the concerns--intellectual, artistic, and political--of the individuals involved in the Dada movement and document the controversies within the movement and in response to it.

Richard Huelsenbeck's "Memoirs of a Dada Drummer",
By A Customer
This review is from: Memoirs of a Dada Drummer (Paperback)
This is essential reading for anyone seriously interested in the progression of 20th century Art. Living in New York City late in his life, Richard Huelsenbeck - a seminal member of the original Dada group formed at Zurich's Cabaret Voltaire - looks back upon his role in Dada and Art (or rather"Anti-Art"), and tries to make some sense of it all. Though highly opinionated (especially in regards to the role of Tristan Tzara), he manages to objectively de-mystify much of the Dada legend and examine some of the human interactions and political and social motivations which sparked the birth of Dada. Low points include the incessant ¡°plugging¡± of his own work and his role in the birth of Dada, but this by no means overshadows his comments and observations about other ¡°Dadaists¡± or the importance of the movement as a whole.
