In Paris Dada was one of the sources of surrealism, officially launched in 1924.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Dada
Robert Motherwell's collection Dada Painters and Poets, published in 1951, contributed to an extraordinary upsurge of interest in Dada, reflected in the so-called “Neo-Dada&; of Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and early Pop Art, and in the Fluxus group during the 1960s.
Ironically, despite Surrealism's seeming historical sublation of Dada, it was the earlier movement which was increasingly to become the more influential in art and literature from the 1950s onwards.
Partly as a result of Duchamp's incalculable influence on post-war art, the Dada revolt against art's institutionalisation and commodification remains an unavoidable reference point for much post-conceptualist contemporary art.

 NPR : Dada on Display at the National Gallery of Art
Dada was a moral and ethical response to the slaughter of World War I. In grief, rage, and despair, Dada used art to comment on the world, making art an indictment of the hypocrisies that wiped out a generation.
But Leah Dickerman, curator at the National Gallery of Art, says Dada was not the Seinfeld of art.
"Just because Dada is attacking traditional values and ideas of high art doesn't mean that it is meaningless art," she says.

 Mark Harden's Artchive: "Dada and Surrealism"
Dada began as an anti-art movement or, at least, a movement against the way art was appreciated by what considered itself the civilized world; Surrealism was much more than an art movement and it thrust home Dada's subversive attack on rational and 'civilized' standards.
Dada gave much to the Surrealist Movement and was finally absorbed by it in Paris in the mid-1920s.
Dada had no formal aesthetic, virtually disregarding easel painting, but the Dadaists shared a nihilistic ethic.
