Event Details

Dada, a prolific and subversive art movement, first emerged in Zurich during the First World War. Dada artists rejected the traditional values of civilisation, while appropriating the cultural and artistic forms of non-western cultures. The Musée de l’Orangerie is presenting an exhibition on these exchanges with African, American Indian and Asian works alongside those of the Dadaists - Hanna Höch, Jean Arp, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Marcel Janco, Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Raoul Haussmann, Man Ray and Picabia, among others.
