long and productive lecture from hal foster about dada today. two take aways:

1. ball went back to the church, duchamp moved away from the old provactions, picaba retreated back to kitsch, schwitters and arp went back to an abstracted naturalism, hoch painted pretty flowers, heartfield went back to east berlin and did communist theatre, grosz went to the states and painted landscapes and conventional nudes, tzara became a stalinist, ernst moved to beverly hills, dix became a nazi and moved onto painting religious allegories
   
2. "you take on the dissonce of yr age until self disintegrates"
