'By July 1916, Dada was a Zurich sensation, this while the Battle of the Somme accrued its grisly statistics: roughly 500,000 German casualties, 200,000 French and 420,000 British. The military incompetence and arrogance of those in power escalated to an unfathomable scale. Hans Arp wrote, ‘We had a dim premonition that power-mad gangsters would one day use art itself as a way of deadening men’s minds.’'

art is the happening of truth at work
ReplyDeleteart is why I live.
