”Cubism represents total famine in ideas. They cubed primitive paintings, cubed Negro sculptures, cubed violins, cubed guitars, cubed picture magazines, cubed shit and girls’ profiles and now they want to cube money!!! Dada, on the other hand, wants nothing, absolutely nothing, and what it does is to make the public say ”We understand nothing, nothing, nothing”. Yes, The Dadaists are nothing, nothing, nothing and they will surely succeed in nothing, nothing, nothing.”
391, No. 12, Paris, March 1920.
By Francis Picabia – (who knows nothing, nothing, nothing).
