Early life and career
Early life and career
Däubler travelled widely throughout the Mediterranean and European countries. His major poem "Das Nordlicht" was first published in 1910. He was close to several participants in Berlin Dada, notably George Grosz and Hans Richter, on whom he wrote the first critical appraisal in Die Aktion. In May 1922 he attended the International Congress of Progressive Artists and signed the "Founding Proclamation of the Union of Progressive International Artists". His influence on wider culture include Theodor Adorno in Minima Moralia (paragraph 122) and Adorno set three of his poems to music in "Drei Gedichte von Theodor Däubler" (Opus 8) and Carl Schmitt. However, it appears that none of his major poems has ever been translated into English.
