Exhibit gives dada a place in history
In 1920, two artists who held a large international exhibition in Berlin were arrested by the German government and brought up on charges of defamation of the Army. George Grosz and Rudolph Schlicter argued that their inflammatory works were merely practical jokes. As a veteran of World War I, Grosz argued that he meant to disrespect to the military or the military's supporting institutions. The two artists were lying.
