MoMA & Dada

World War 1 and Dada:

Dada is a conflict that claimed the lives of eight million military personnel and an estimated equal number of civilians, around 1914-1918. This was made into existence because it was made to prove a point, and that point being that deaths from the war made a big impact on the nation and by showing the dada movement there was a lot of attention being drawn to it to symbolize it.

Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade:

Readymades is a description from the artist and an observer of his own art and gave them specific titles, all art pieces had a part of them that were named readymades and that was what he was known for. It made all of his artwork stand out.

They change my expectations on art in a way that makes me want to see more and more to see how different every piece is going to be from another, every piece has unqiueness to it and that's what I like about his work  the most.

Here is an example of his artwork:














Chance Creations: Collage, Photomontage and Assemblage:

These Dada Artists Embraced a lot of things to do with their work, but I think the biggest thing that they embraced was the reaction that they got from people, and how the talk was around about regarding these artists and their artwork.

These artists took this approach because they wanted to see how much different people would compare and contrast from their work from before or from other artists creations and sculptures and having their own understanding of the creation of imagery.

Here is an example of the artwork:
















Artistic Collaboration:

As said in this article the whole experience with dadaism has a lot to do with skits, pranks, and performances were all seemingly inane, they were rooted in the sentiments of a meritorious nature.
They were all thought of so that they could all be unique and have their own purpose and that is what all of the dada artitsts did.

Word Play:

Dada artists do word play so that there have text and speech free from the rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, The Dada Artists form their final pieces of  art  to turn the original text and forms of literature into abstract forms of unique art.

Here is an example of Word Play artwork:
