An avant-garde manifesto: the Dada heads of Sophie Taeuber-Arp. By Elia BIEZUNSKI. Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) left her mark on the history of the avant-garde with her abstract, geometric, rhythmic, and colorful compositions. Her education at the School of Arts and Crafts in Saint-Gall, Switzerland, and then at the Apprenticeship and Trial Workshops for Applied Arts in Munich fostered her ability to produce a true synthesis of the arts. Just graduated, she became a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Zurich and experimented in fields such as tapestry, drawing, sculpture, costume, puppetry, and even dance, inspired by Rudolf van Laban's pedagogy. She participated in the Dadaist adventure and performed masked at the Cabaret Voltaire. Her ironic Dada Head (1920) affirmed the richness of her research, parodied portrait art, and emerged as an original manifesto of the famous movement.
