An avant-garde manifesto: Sophie Taeuber-Arp's Dada heads. By Elia BIEZUNSKI.
Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) marked the history of the avant-garde with her abstract, geometric, rhythmic and colorful compositions. Her training at the School of Arts and Crafts in St. Gallen, Switzerland, then at the Ateliers d'apprentissage et d'essai pour les arts appliqués in Munich, fostered her ability to produce a true synthesis of the arts. After graduating, she became a teacher at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, experimenting with tapestry, drawing, sculpture, costume, puppetry and even dance, inspired by the pedagogy of Rudolf van Laban. She took part in the Dadaist adventure and performed masked at the Cabaret Voltaire. Her ironic Tête DADA (1920) asserts the richness of her research, parodies the art of portraiture and appears as an original manifesto of the famous movement.
