On another author, Hugo Ball, who wrote the Dada Manifesto: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Ball

dislike for philosophies of the past that claimed to possess the ultimate truth. In the manifesto Ball aimed to legitimize the new artistic movement's ambition to not merely "write poetry with words", but to "write poetry out of the words", to create an entirely new language, due to the fact that the old language was viewed as "doomed", and "ruined by the filthy hands of capital".

All these artist from the 1920’s were bat shit crazy, trying to erase the past. I’ll post more interesting finding as they come back to memory as it was a while ago since I looked into this topic. Anything coming from the Dada movement is just bizarre, understanding it kinda helps show how hollywierd got so... weird.
