"Composition Dada," Sophie Taeuber-Arp, 1920.

Swiss-born Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) had a varied career...a painter, a sculptor, a textile designer, a furniture designer, an interior designer, and even a dancer. She met and fell for the Dadaist artist Jean Arp in 1915, and they married in 1922 and collaborated often until her death.

Some of her early works involved geometric forms, and she's considered an early Constructivist. However, she became immersed in Zurich's Dada scene, and designed costumes for, and performed in, a number of Dadaist performance pieces, where her dancing was described as "obscure and awkward."

While many Dada works were seen as cynical and angry reactions to popular culture, Sophie's work was seen as positive and joyous. She and her husband moved around Europe, always trying to avoid war. She died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, when sleeping in a snowbound house with a malfunctioning stove.

She is currently being rediscovered by the art world at large, and is regarded as one of the best geometric abstractionists of the 20th century. She was featured as a Google Doodle in 2016.
