1919

André Breton and Philippe Soupault experiment with automatic writing. The Dadaist painters Baargeld and Max Ernst show their works at the exhibition of “New Tendencies” in German art at the Kunstverein in Cologne along with works by the “insane” and self-taught artists.

First drawings dessins d’Aloïse Corbaz (1886-1964) inmated in Cery, in Switzerland, then in La Rosière, near Lausanne.

Guided by “an invisible force” that she would call “Myrninerest”, Madge Gill (1882-1961) made her first drawings.
