Hugo Ball

Hugo Ball

(1886 - 1927) German author and poet
  • "It is true that for us art is not an end in itself, we have lost too many of our illusions for that. Art is for us an occasion for social criticism , and for real understanding of the age we live in.... Dada was not a school of artists, but an alarm signal against declining values, routine and speculations, a desperate appeal, on behalf of all forms of art, for a creative basis on which to build a new and universal consciousness of art."
