I have always loved the art from DADA movement. It was really awesome learning how it started and the motivations behind the works. I never knew that the work was so political and they would even turn away artists who werent making a big enough statement. The exploration of expressive typography is also wonderful as a Graphic Designer myself I love seeing those sorts of posters and Typographic Materiality. I almost wish that I could be alive durning that period so I could experience these things first hand. I love experimenting with type in my typography class so I feel almost as if I belong in these sorts of movements. What would typography look like now if DADA never happend would someone else think of it, or was it the poltical rebellion the feul?
