The incorporation of words, letters, and numbers in paintings became a significant preoccupation of such artists as Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters, Ren Magritte, and Joan Miro. Beginning in 1915 and continuing through the 1940s, artists associated with the Dada and surrealist movements radically altered perceptions of what a painting or an art object should be. The Dada & Surrealist Word-Image examines this fusing of words and images, its impact on traditional forms of art, and the issues it raises for today's modernist agenda.
