DADAISM



Dadaism is an art movement appears in WWI from 1916-1922, which was a quite short time. The idea of Dadaism is to challenge the traditional art and ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. You can even not treat Dada as an art but an anti-art.
Dada is more like a collection of images or playing with arts. Though it was appeared in a quite short period, it really influences some art movement a lot after. It won't give audience any deep meanings there. However, it pregnant the idea that art does not always needs to be exquisite and beautiful anymore.

Duchamp is one of the most famous artist in Dadaism. He is the only one could bridge a relationship between Dadaism and Surrealism, which was in a same period with Dada. He created his own way about how to represent artworks, which is called Readymades. Readymades is more like modified original objects and some new element to create a fairly new artwork with new ideas. And mostly, people think those thinks are not artworks and does not make any sense.
