Sophie Taeuber-Arp
Taeuber-Arp was born in 1889, in Davos, Switzerland, and was one of the most active figures in Cabaret Voltaire, as well as many of the important movements in the pre-World War 2 art scene in Europe.
She was one of the signers of the DADA manifesto, and remained dedicated to the ideas of Dada throughout her career. She later embraced the principles of Constructivism, and became on of its most important practitioners outside of Russia.
She dedicated her career to breaking down static, artificial boundaries between genre's, and desired to break down the boundaries between applied and fine arts, and also explored the relationship between fine art and performance, working with dance, movement and masks.

Her work, whether it be a Marionette, a dancer's movement, or a textile pattern, presented the possibility of crafting a more beautiful world from the elements of the present one.
