In my opinion, the fact that we have not seen this brilliant DADA collage art reproduced in books and periodicals in the USA is a subtle and unconscious capitalist conspiracy of art dealers, bankers, paint manufacturers, Sunday school teachers, and "serious minded people" from all walks of life. Besides their avid dislike of nonsense and talk about the meaninglessness of life, they are characterized by good personal hygiene, night blindness, and an absolute lack of imagination. They can also be characterized by a love of following the rules, folding laundry, and organizing the sock drawer. DADA presents an inherent threat to these people's ideal of a well organized and clean, sanitary life because DADA follows no rules. Too bad. DADA is no napkin ring. DADA is no postage stamp. DADA is a 10K gold pocket watch with phosphorescent rocket flares, elastic suspenders, and a secret fire proof stairway to the third floor security apartment. Beware conformity.
