A great book that I'll be keeping in my library - especially on the topic of Weimar Berlin.

[Warrick Sony · Rating 4 out of 5]

a really brilliant history of the Berlin Dadaists during Weimar Germany - mainly centred around Raul Hausmann and Hanna Hoch with lots of great research into their collages, the sources, social content and methodologies around those works. Highly recommended
