"Dada Conquerors," Raoul Hausmann, 1920
Born in 1886 in Vienna, Raoul moved to Berlin when he was 14 years old. He was first introduced to art by his father who was also his first teacher. In 1908 he enrolled in a private art school in Berlin where he stayed until 1911. In 1912 Hausmann started Expressionist prints and took a job as a writer at Walden's magazine, where he first started writing against the art community. He thought tat the war was a good thing that was needed to clean society.
In this picture I believe Hausmann is saying Dada art will win out against the old world of art. In this picture he puts "dada siegt!" in the picture itself. It shows regular people not noble men but rather working class people. He shows the real anatomy of a person not a glorified muscular verson of a person. He also shows "real" things in the picture such as a basketball, a shoe, a typewriter, etc.
