Dada • 1920 • II
Grosz and Heartfield attack painter Oskar Kokoschka as a 'Kunstlump' after he laments damage caused to his paintings during the political uprisings in Berlin: "We are overjoyed," Heartfield and Grosz write, "that the bullets are whistling into galleries and palaces rather than the houses of the poor."
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
