Scope and Contents

In "Destruction Was My Beatrice" modernist scholar Jed Rasula presents the first narrative history of Dada, showing how this little-understood artistic phenomenon laid the foundation for culture as we know it today. Although the venue where Dada was born closed after only four months and its acolytes scattered, the idea of Dada quickly spread to New York, where it influenced artistsl like Marcel Ducahmp and Man Ray to Berlin where it inspired painters George Grosz and Hannah Hoch: and to Paris, where it dethroned previous avant-garde movements like Fauvism and Cubism while inspiring early Surrealists."THIS WAS THE LAST BOOK THAT RUTH SACKNER READ AND CATALOGUED. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
