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.

About Dadaism Form WIKI
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.
