Early biography
Raoul Hausmann was born in Vienna but with his parents at the age of 14, they migrated to Berlin. His father, a licensed conservator, and painter were among his early art educations. In 1905, Johannes Baader, an eccentric architect and another potential Dada, met him. He encountered Elfride Schaeffer, a violinist who died in 1908, a year after their daughter, Vera, was born in 1908. Hausmann enrolled at a private Art School in Berlin in the same year, where he remained until 1911.
Hausmann began to produce Expressionist prints in Erich Heckel's studio in 1912 and became a staff writer for Walden's magazine, which also included Der Sturm, which gave the artist's first polemical writings against the art work. He started celebrating the war, deeming it to be a crucial purification of a calcified society, but being an Austrian civilian living in Germany, he was exempted from the draft.
Hausmann met Hannah Höch in 1915 and embarked on an extramarital affair that would result in an'artistically rich yet turbulent union' that would last until 1922, when she left him. And at a time when Hausmann fantasized about killing Höch, the couple's tumultuous history reached its peak. He blasted her about everything from politics to art, but he only came to her assistance after the other artists of the Dada movement tried to exclude her from their art shows. Even after defending her art and calling for its admission into the First International Dada Fair, he continued to say that Höch "was never part of the club." Despite Hausmann's repeated promises that he would not leave his wife to be with her, she never did.
In 1916, Hausmann met two more people who would influence his future: the psychoanalyst Otto Gross, who believed psychoanalysis to be the catalyst for change; and the anarchist writer Franz Jung. Salomo Friedlaender, Hans Richter, Emmy Hennings, and others of Die Aktion magazine, which along with Der Sturm and the anarchist newspaper Die Freie Straße, published numerous articles by him in this period.
