Merz 3 Portfolio: Plate 1, 1923. Kurt Schwitters (German, 1887-1948). Lithograph; Dada was a literary and art movement that began in Europe during World War I. It was characterized by cynicism, expressions of outrage at the conditions of the world, and rebellion against all established artistic conventions and traditional art forms.
