Dada Movement

Dada art movement.


Dada began in the beginning of WW1. When a group of artist decided to explore and create art in a different way like collages and manifest’s. Dadaist protested the brutality and senseless of that time. Many of the Dade’s artists fought in the war and rejected mass media and nationalist propaganda. This group of people created their own art movement and in 1917 the first DADA exhibition was held. But by 1919 all the artists had moved to other countries taking DADA with them.

Richard Hueldenbeck decided to move back to Berlin in the early 1917. Taking DADA with him. By that following year other DADA artists joined him, including George Grosz, Otto Dix, John Oluwasevn and Hanna Hoch. The DADA’s held the first DADA fair in berlin in the year 1920. Over the years the berlin DADA’s continued to express their discontent to the military and German nationalism trough their works of art.

DADA movement in Hannover was carried by the one and only Kurt Schweitzer’s. Kurt was rejected by the Berlin DADA’s. But he still created his own identity and created beautiful sculptures. DADA art rejected society ideas of what art should look like. DADA was the opposite of art to be anti-art.
