"Dada Foxtrot" (1920) Avant-Garde Poster Print

Plunge into the anarchic energy of post-WWI Berlin with this electrifying Dada Foxtrot reproduction. This 1920 poster is a kinetic masterpiece of Avant-Garde graphic design, perfectly capturing the rhythmic chaos of the Jazz Age and the destructive wit of the Dada movement.

This graphic art is a prime example of how the German Dadaists (like Hannah Höch, Raoul Hausmann, or Johannes Baader) channeled societal frustration into revolutionary art. The Foxtrot, a fast, syncopated American dance, symbolized the era's frantic energy and modern cultural infiltration.

• Graphic Anarchy: The design utilizes bold, angular typography and fragmented, Expressionist forms that clash violently on the page, rejecting the logic and order of pre-war bourgeois aesthetics.

• Visual Movement: The layout often features dynamic diagonals and overlapping planes, creating a powerful sense of auditory rhythm and visual chaos, effectively merging the rhythm of the modern dance with the political urgency of the art movement.

• Historical Edge: This print represents the moment German graphic design shed decorative Art Nouveau and embraced the functional, political, and psychological intensity of Modernism.
