Research files, 1902-1975.

This collection consists of unpublished letters and published and unpublished essays and phonetic poems by Raoul Hausmann and Richard Huelsenbeck. The typescripts contain corrections which frequently differ from the final published works. Together, the manuscripts and correspondence present the historical framework of the Dada movement. Also included are photocopies and photostats of letters received by Herwarth Walden, founder and editor of the magazine Der Sturm. Kleinschmidt collected these letters from the Sturm Archive in order to write a history of the magazine and its founder. The letters from artists and writers of the period give insight into the art developments of the early 20th century. Artists and writers included are Guillaume Apollinaire, Sonia Delaunay, Otto Freundlich, Albert Gleizes, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Fernand Leger, Adolf Loos, August Macke, Thomas Mann, Franz Marc, Walter Mehring and Max Pechstein.
