Dada Bodies

Explore the intriguing world of Dadaism with Dada Bodies by Elza Adamowicz, published by Manchester University Press in 2019. This hardback edition spans 280 pages and delves into a comprehensive study of Dada's representations of the human body across various media and geographical contexts.

Adamowicz examines the multifaceted imagery of the body, ranging from masks to machine parts, and the grotesque to the iconoclastic. The book confronts these bodily images as reflections of and responses to the fragmented, dehumanized society of wartime and post-war Europe. It also serves as a blueprint for the concept of the New Man.

Perfect for art enthusiasts and scholars alike, Dada Bodies offers a thought-provoking analysis that invites readers to reconsider the significance of the human figure in art during a tumultuous period in history.
