The text of the article reads:

"Look at a Revolution

The marionette above by Sophie Taeuber-Arp is one of the pieces in 'Dada 1916-1966' at the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard, through September 4th. The exhibit presents the Dada movement in Zurich (where it began), Berlin, Cologne, Hanover and New York through Photographs and commentary on billboards.

Hans Richter, a Dadaist from Zurich, assembled the show originally for the Goethe Institute of Zurich, to indicate that Dadaism was more than a style, it was a state of mind. 'Dada,' he says, 'was a state of mind. It was a state of mind. It depicted the absence of optimism, morality, and faith in the future. It involved singers, poets and filmmakers, as well as painters.

The old idea of art that depended on some kind of reality for its 'artfulness' was thrown out. In its place came the ideas of chance, machines, irony, isolation and 'anti-art' (Marcel Duchamp).

A weakness in the show stems from the fact that Mr. Richter has compiled too few pieces from the movement to see it in order to fully grasp Dadaism.'
