Summary
Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) was an artist but also a dancer, designer, puppet maker, architect and editor. Taeuber-Arp became a teacher after studying art and dance and later taught others how to design patterns for textiles. In the wake of the first world war, European civilisation was on the brink of collapse, and a group of young people were rebelling from the world of destruction around them. They defined themselves as nonsensical, cynical, savage and abstract - the dadaists. Responsible for co-founding the dada art movement, Tauber-Arp's way with colours and shapes unlocked new possibilities in art, costume and interior design.
