The works described and documented in \u003ci\u003eRussian Dada\u003c\/i\u003e were produced at the height of Dada's flourishing, between World War I and the death of Vladimir Lenin--who, incidentally, was a frequent visitor to Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, the founding site of Dada. Like the Dadaists, the Russian avant-gardists whose works appear in this volume strove for internationalism, fused the verbal and visual, and engaged in eccentric practices and pacifist actions, including outrageous performances and anti-war campaigns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe works featured in this lavishly illustrated volume thrive on negation, irony, and absurdity, with the goal of constructing a new aesthetic paradigm that is an alternative to both positivist and rationalist Constructivism as well as metaphysical and cosmic Suprematism. The text and images show that, while not neglecting the serious project of public agitation for Marxist ideology, the artists often pushed the Dadaesque into Russian mass culture, in the form of absurdist and chance-based collages and designs. In such works, Russian da, da (yes, yes) was converted into a defiant nyet, nyet (no, no). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRussian Dada\u003c\/i\u003e, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, includes 250 images, almost all in color, and essays by leading art historians.
