In that death and its causes or repercussions can be embroidered at will with no fear of comeback. But a fear that is real inasmuch as literature or art is real. The only way. Otherwise, it is Nothing. Zero. "Death is a thoroughly Dadaist business, in that it signifies nothing at all." - Richard Huelsenbeck Silly Idea - The Baser Pulps - Nemonymous - The Weirdmonger Wheel - Weirdmonger (Prime Book) The Top Tier Shockliner Demon previously known as DF Lewis

Pictorial art is one thing - horror stories are something else altogether. I don't see any correlation between the two. David

Da Da Da" from German 1980's band TRIO both are funny in their own right. July 15 2008, Silverthought Press publish Bukkakeworld and Planet of the Owls in trade paperback.

(I'd suggest the Voticists as another possible C20 wellspring, though: it's more literary and less visual, and I'd suspect a few horror writers have read Wyndham Lewis' novels, particularly the 2/3s of a trilogy set in Hell.) Please buy my book, somebody?

If you want to find a theoretical home for horror, I'd suggest starting with Aristotle's "Poetics" and Neitzsche's "The Birth of the Tragic." Now Available! And you can read the Prologue here.

(I'd question that Dada's more important than Bosch as it's the source for non religious horror given that there's a lot more religious than non religious horror, even despite Lovecraft's huge influence.)

But not THE one. Spain would be the richest country in Dada, I believe. Of course, for their period/era, so was pop of the 50's and 60's, abstract/cubism years before that, and the Expressionist Movement (Van Gogh, Monet, et la) way WAY before that. There's a lot of contemporary and postmodern work which saw a few healthy years of success, and then didn't. And let's not forget the graffiti art movement on the streets during the 70's and 80's, which eventually grew up from the sides of trains to airbrush and canvas.
