we covered a pretty good stretch: constructivism and its heroes: malevich, rodchenko, vertov, eisenstein. dada, heartfield, ernst, neue typographie, and the neue sachlichkeit and its figures: george grosz, otto dix, beckmann, rudolph schlichter, etc.

dada + poetry = ?

Morphine

We might have coupled

in the bed-ridden monopoly of a moment

Or broken flesh with one another

At the profane communion table

Where wine is spill't on promiscuous lips

We might have given birth to a butterfly

With the daily-news

Printed in blood on its wings

Mina Loy, (1882-1966)

einsenstein's potemkin

Eisenstein wrote the film as a revolutionary propaganda, but also used it to test his idea of "montage".

This is a propaganda form within the film narrative. In this particular shot, Eisenstein's editing intends to produce the greatest emotional response, so that the viewer would feel sympathy for the rebellious sailors of the battleship Potemkin --and hatred for their cruel tzarist overlords. The clip shows the most famous scene in the film: the massacre of civilians on the Odessa Steps (also known as the Primorsky or Potemkin Stairs).

Cubist literature: Gertrude Stein

Imagine a piece of literature by Gertrude Stein as a song, or a poem you listen to in the background as you work (are there any existing recordings of Stein saying her lines?

It happens very often that a man has it in him, that a man does something, that he does it very often that he does many things, when he is a young man when he is an old man, when he is an older man. One of such of these kind of them had a little boy and this one, the little son wanted to make a collection of butterflies and beetles and it was all exciting to him and it was all arranged then and then the father said to the son you are certain this is not a cruel thing that you are wanting to be doing, killing things to make collections of them, and the son was very disturbed then and they talked about it together the two of them and more and more they talked about it then and then at last the boy was convinced it was a cruel thing and he said he would not do it and his father said the little boy was a noble boy to give up pleasure when it was a cruel one. -- Gertrude Stein, The Making of Americans.

Stein was definitely a rapper. Don't you think?
