The importance of being Innes


“For us, in Cologne in 1919, Dada was first of all a mental attitude… Our aim was total subversion. A ghastly and senseless war had cheated us out of five years of our lives. We had seen all that had been held up to us as good, beautiful and true topple into an abyss of ridicule and shame. The work I produced in those days was not meant to please but to make people scream.”
