Estimate by Auctionata Expert: 4,000 Euro After the war, Raoul Hausmann was finally reestablished as an artist and author. The manifesto of PIN (e.g. an acronym for ‘Poetry Intervenes Now’) was one of his first projects that he realized in collaboration with Kurt Schwitters in 1946. The present work shows the cover design for a magazine that Hausmann and Schwitters intended to publish in 1947, but in fact never completed. Condition: The surface of the gelatin silver print has been revised by the artist using black Indian ink. The work shows faint handling marks within the depiction, as well as along the edges and in the corners. The upper right corner has a tiny pin hole. The lower edge of the print is verso taped due to an old mounting. Besides, the work is in good overall condition. The full sheet image measures 21 x 17.5 cm and the framed dimensions are 36 x 33 cm. Raoul Hausmann (1886-1971) Raoul Hausmann was born in Vienna and moved to Berlin at the age of 14, where his father worked as an academic painter. He experienced the emergence of the Expressionism as a young man and contributed to the success of the magazine ‘Der Sturm’. Besides painting, Hausmann also had a deep fascination for philosophy and literature, which is why he occasionally also worked as an author. In 1917 Hausmann first met representatives of the Dadaist movement. In the following year he already participated at Dada soirées, where he made encounters with protagonists like Heartfield and Grosz. At that time Hausmann also invented the technique of photomontage, published his ‘poster poems’ and edited the magazine ‘Der Dada’ in 1919. Hausmann started to work on his novel ‘Hyle’ in 1926 and also developed his machine ‘Optophon’ that was finally registered as a patent in London in 1954. From 1930, Hausmann was primarily focused on documentary photography and experimented with photographs. Between 1933 and 1944 he was almost constantly fleeing from warfare. He was thus temporarily active in Ibiza, as well as in Zurich and Prague. After Paris and Peyrat-le-Château, he finally went to Limoges, where he spent the last years of his life.
