Dadaism




"A Dadaist is someone who loves live in all its unencompassable forms and who knows and says: Life is not just here, but da, da (there,there)!"____________Johannes Baader

My Opinion
Dadaism not so much an art form, as it is a cultural movement, he will not be limited to painting in the form of arts, literature, poetry, drama and art theory, and through the works of traditional art to express anti-war and political against the thought.

Dadaism pay more attention to the art of thinking, the idea of a work of art is more important than the visual effects, and works of art by some of the changes and re-writing to express their ideas.

My Dadaism

The painting from the direction of view, is not considered dada art reflects, as it only represents the reorganization of the arts, but the whole picture is still harmony, not conflict of meaning.

Here is my remake dada art, some of the impossible to appear in reality, expressed in art, more in line with the theme of art dada.

Dadaism
(1916-1924) Dadaism or Dada is a post-World War I cultural movement in visual art as well as literature (mainly poetry), theater and graphic design. The movement was, among other things, a protest against the barbarism of the War and what Dadaists believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society; its works were characterized by a deliberate irrationality and the rejection of the prevailing standards of art. It influenced later movements including Surrealism.

According to its proponents, Dada was not art; it was anti-art. For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the opposite. Where art was concerned with aesthetics, Dada ignored them. If art is to have at least an implicit or latent message, Dada strives to have no meaning--interpretation of Dada is dependent entirely on the viewer. If art is to appeal to sensibilities, Dada offends. Perhaps it is then ironic that Dada is an influential movement in Modern art. Dada became a commentary on art and the world, thus becoming art itself.

The artists of the Dada movement had become disillusioned by art, art history and history in general. Many of them were veterans of World War I and had grown cynical of humanity after seeing what men were capable of doing to each other on the battlefields of Europe. Thus they became attracted to a nihilistic view of the world (they thought that nothing mankind had achieved was worthwhile, not even art), and created art in which chance and randomness formed the basis of creation. The basis of Dada is nonsense. With the order of the world destroyed by World War I, Dada was a way to express the confusion that was felt by many people as their world was turned upside down.

Cubism

My Opinion
In my opinion, Cubism is broken down into different graphic object, then reassembled manifestations.

Creative artists to break the conventional way, the more the subjective feelings to a viewer. From the works of colors, graphics portfolio, viewer feel more emotion in the creative process of artists. More modern works, it is mixed use of
different painting techniques and performance practices, not only stay in a more uniform color of the traditional painting.

Here is a good example of this piece, the artist did not use the traditional approach to the performance of painting, but the use of life through subtle modifications of material to show another sense.


About Cubism Form WIKI

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1907 and 1911 in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.

In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
