MORE ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE

“An informative, lively, and entertaining narrative of Dada, a veritable biography of an enormously influential art movement on the 100th anniversary of its birth.”

                 —Francis M. Naumann, curator and author of The Recurrent, Haunting Ghost: Essays on the Art, Life and Legacy of Marcel Duchamp

“A readable narrative that rejoices in the spirit of Dada’s fleeting existence, never alighting on the precast definitions that have often shackled previous explanations. Rasula brings the Dadaists to life in vivid accounts of their interactions, aspirations, mishaps, and triumphs.”

                 —Timothy O. Benson, Curator, Robert Gore Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
