| DADA" by Rudolf Kuenzli provides an descriptive analysis within an historical context, examining Dada's impact and resonance in the art and culture of this opening decade of the 21st Century from the avant-garde work of such Dada luminaries as Hugo Ball, Marcel Duchamp, many Ray, Francis Picabia, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Hoch, Kurt Schwitter, Max Ernst, Lajos Kassak, and many others. Born in France, Duchamp came to the United States to escape World War I and quickly made a name for himself with Nude Descending a Staircase, his notorious entry in the groundbreaking 1913 New York Armory exhibition.
