263 // MSN1 / Raoul Hausmann

I just came across the Austrian artist Raoul Hausmann (July 12, 1886 – February 1, 1971) – one of the key figures in Berlin Dada. As written on Wikipedia his experimental photographic collages, sound poetry and institutional critiques would have a profound influence on the European Avant-Garde in the aftermath of World War I…
He created some impressive man-machine-artwork… have a look:

Der Geist Unserer Zeit – Mechanischer Kopf, 1920
(Mechanical Head [The Spirit of Our Age])

Tatlin at Home, 1920

Dada Self-portrait, 1920
