DADA

The movement DADA was formed during the first world war in Zurich in response to the horrors of the war. The poems, paintings and performances of the movement are often satirical and nonsensical, questioning the meaning of anything and everything. Their aim was to destroy traditional values in art and create new art. I believe the essence of DADA id best described by artist Hans Arp, who wrote:

'Revolted by the butchery of the 1914 World War, we in Zurich devoted ourselves to the arts. While the guns rumbled in the distance, we sang, painted, made collages and wrote poems with all our might.'
