"In 1916, as World War I raged around them, a group of bohemians gathered at a small nightclub in Zurich, Switzerland, for a series of bizarre performances. Three readers simultaneously recited a poem in three languages; a monocle-wearing teenager performed a spell from New Zealand; another man flung bits of papier-mache into the air and glued them into place where they landed. One of the artists called these sessions 'both buffoonery and a requiem mass.' Soon they would have a more evocative name: Dada. In DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE, modernist scholar Jed Rasula presents the first narrative history of the emergence, decline, and legacy of Dada, showing how this strange artistic phenomenon spread across Europe and then the world in the wake of the Great War, fundamentally reshaping modern culture in ways we're still struggling to understand today." Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, no jacket as issued & that cool cover photo of Hugo Ball reciting his poems at the Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich 1916.

Soon they would have a more evocative name: Dada.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 artists like Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray to Berlin, where it inspired painters George Grosz and Hannah Höch and to Paris, where it dethroned previous avant-garde movements like Fauvism and Cubism while inspiring early Surrealists like André Breton, Louis Aragon, and Paul Éluard. The long tail of Dadaism, Rasula shows, can be traced even further, to artists as diverse as William S. Burroughs, Robert Rauschenberg, Marshall McLuhan, the Beatles, Monty Python, David Byrne, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, all of whom,along with untold others,owe a debt to the bizarre wartime escapades of the Dada vanguard.A globe-spanning narrative that resurrects some of the 20th century's most influential artistic figures, Destruction Was My Beatrice describes how Dada burst upon the world in the midst of total war,and how the effects of this explosion are still reverberating today.…

One of the artists called these sessions 'both buffoonery and a requiem mass.' Soon they would have a more evocative name: Dada. [] 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 artists like Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray; to Berlin, where it inspired painters George Grosz and Hannah Höch; and to Paris, where it dethroned previous avant-garde movements like Fauvism and Cubism while inspiring early Surrealists like André Breton, Louis Aragon, and Paul Eluard.

[] A globe-spanning narrative that resurrects some of the 20th century's most influential artistic figures, DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE describes how Dada burst upon the world in the midst of total war--and how the effects of this explosion are still reverberating today." [jacket copy] "'Only imbeciles and Spanish professors care about dates,' Hans Arp once wrote about Dada. Jed Rasula knows about dates, but unlike so many, he feels Dada on his skin. He writes and thinks from inside this crystallization of modernism, and he can follow its light anywhere."--Greil Marcus. "It's quite a feat to recapture the thrill of a century-old cultural insurgency, but Jed Rasula pulls it off with gusto in DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE, a marvelous history of the non-art non-movement that dynamited complacency and conventionality across Europe and across the Atlantic in New York for a few heady years during and after World War I. Rasula enfolds Dada's inconsistencies and eccentricities in a lover's embrace while treating its key people, publications, exhibitions, and events to the informed assessment of a scholar."--Los Angeles Review of Books. "Dada: a familiar word we all toss around. But who were the Dadaists really? What did they accomplish? How did Dada relate to other avant-garde movements like Constructivism? Was Dada a historical phenomenon or is it a state of mind? The great feat of Jed Rasula's extraordinarily lively and compelling narrative is to defamiliarize Dada so that we see its evolution as if for the first time. A genuinely delightful book!"--Marjorie Perloff.
