Together with John Heartfield, he developed photomontage techniques. In 1919, he cofounded the magazine Dada and was involved in the Spartacist sociopolitical movement of the Novembergruppe. He toured the various manifestations of Dada in in Germany and in Prague. He was one of the organisers of the 1920 Dada Fair in Berlin and published two ‘manifesto articles’ in De Stijl. From 1921, Hausmann worked with Kurt Schwitters, organizing a number of demonstrations. He wrote pamphlets and manifestos and participated in collective exhibitions, demonstrations, and ‘Dada soirées.' at this time.
