Dada (1916-25)• So what is Dada?– A movement against art, challenging the idea of
what can be considered art.– Protest against the ongoing war, industrialization
and conventional art.– Often absurd, whimsical, satirical or just plain
nonsense.– Ready-made, collage & photomontage were
popular mediums– Conceptual – about the idea not the technique. – Inspires future movements in minimalism and
surrealism
