| | Dada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to its proponents, Dada was not art — it was anti-art. | | | Dada, or Dadaism, was a cultural movement that involved visual arts, literature (mainly poetry), theatre, and graphic design, and began in neutral Zürich, Switzerland during World War I. | | | The first introduction of Dada artwork to the Parisian public was at the Salon des Indépendants in 1921. |

| | Dada, early 20th-century art movement, whose members sought to ridicule the culture of their time through deliberately absurd performances, poetry, and visual art. | | | Huelsenbeck made commitment to the political philosophy of socialism a central dada tenet, and later recalled, "there were artists and bourgeois. | | | The dada movement acquired a name and a recognizable identity only in 1916, but the work of several artists anticipated dada's spirit a few years earlier. |

| | Her "junk art" 1918 Dada portrait of the photographer Berenice Abbott, who called von Freytag-Loringhoven a friend and a great influence, is made from a brush, stones, metal objects, cloth, paint, and various detritus. | | | The Parisian Jacqueline Lamba (1910-1993) was attracted to Breton's writings, which addressed art and politics, her two principal interests, and to Breton: the two married during the turbulent decade (of 1934-1943), during which they fled the war, first to Mexico and, finally, New York. | | | In some respects, Surrealism was an outgrowth of Dada, as Salvador Dalí, Duchamp, and others renounced protest and absurdity in favor of the dislocated, symbolic imagery of the subconscious. |

| | Dadaism |
| | It is apparent that although it was mostly a movement of the visual arts, the influences of Dadaism go far beyond merely visual art. | | | The idea of found objects in Dada art is remarkably similar to the sound objects of musique concrete and it is more than just coincidence that Schaeffer uses such a similar element. | | | A composer whose association with the Dadaist movement is clear as he was listed as a Dadaist resident composer is Hans Heusser, a Swiss composer who studied at the Schola Cantorum in Paris with Vincent d'Indy. |

| | French Cinema: Dadaism |
| | The knife's point landed on the word 'dada' (literally "hobby-horse") and the word was seized upon by the artists who were searching for a name to give to their particular brand of art. | | | One Dada artist, Hans Arp, called his random compositions of dropped paper bits pasted to canvas "anti-art"; he believed that rationality, as used by the artist and Western society as a whole, was worthless when Fate (as exemplifed by the World War) so obviously overtakes human plans. | | | Much of what the Dada movement was about can be understood by a look at the origins of its seemingly nonsensical name. |

| | Dada had far-reaching effects on the art of the 20th century; the creative techniques of accident and chance were sustained in Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, conceptual art, and Pop art. | | | The movement grew out of disgust with bourgeois values and despair over World War I. The archetypal Dada forms of expression were the nonsense poem and the ready-made. | | | The name, French for “hobbyhorse,&; was selected by a chance procedure and adopted by a group of artists, including Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Francis Picabia, to symbolize their emphasis on the illogical and absurd. |

| | Dada began as an anti-art movement, in the sense that it rejected the way art was appreciated and defined in contemporary art scenes. | | | Founded in Zurich, Switzerland, the movement was a response to World War I. It had no unifying aesthetic characteristics but what brought together the Dadaists was that they shared a nihilistic attitude towards the traditional expectations of artists and writers. | | | In the United States, Dada found its central location at Alfred Steiglitz’s gallery "291" and the studio of the Walter Arensbergs. |

| | 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. | | | Before responding to the Metaphysical painting of de Chirico and being brought into the Surrealist Movement in 1929, Salvador Dali had admired the command of detail in artists such as Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891) and the Pre-Raphaelites; his physical technique continued to reflect this admiration. |

| | John Heartfield: Dada |
| | Dada originated in Switzerland in 1916 as a reaction to World War I. It was started by a group of artists who wanted to break the traditional boundaries of distinct art forms. | | | This symbolized the movement as a whole, as the artists were attempting to protest war, greed and the corrupt powers that existed. | | | John Heartfield played a major role in the Dada Movement, however, he learned techniques and styles from many other artists who expressed their political ideas through art. |

| | The movement was formed to prove the bankruptcy of existing style of artistic expression rather than to promote a particular style itself. | | | Dada artists produced works which were nihilistic or reflected a cynical attitude toward social values, and, at the same time, irrational — | | | "Dada," wrote Arp, "wished to destroy the hoaxes of reason and to discover an unreasoned order." While this work is far less violent than some of the rhetoric of Dada, Arp's use of serendipitous composition here embodies what has been called the heart of Dada practice: the gratuitous act. |
