*deleted for reasons of shitness*

 

How is that dadaist can I ask?

 

my social and historical context teacher told me it was...

i think she's a big fat liar tho...

we've already decided she's an alcoholic

 

very nice, but what is dadaism?
​

 

Dadaism was a short movement within art or so i am led to believe i have to write about it in my homework!

Google it and you'll find out about it, but basically if my understandings are correct the formal deffinition is,that it was a western European artistic and literary movement around 1916-23 it sought "the discovery of authentic reality through the abolition of traditional culture and aesthetic forms."
Best explination i could find was, dadaism was "based on the principles of deliberate irrationality, anarchy, and cynicism and the rejection of laws of beauty and social organization"
New ideas, new materials, new directions we studied one of the artisit who was apart of Dadaism, his name was Kurt Schwitters!
Kurt Schwitters undertook radical experiments in such fields as abstract drama and poetry, cabaret, typography, multimedia art, body painting, music, photography and architecture. He was on the brink of all contemporary art, he was one of the founders of dadaism. He used every day things, anything he could find to create pictures, now all we need is a few examples. Its like collage but with everyday things... placed in a purposeful manner..

Dadaism was the artists way of going anti-art. they challanged the barriers of art and pushed the walls back. If you look at a piece of art caled "the fountain" ...technically its just a urinal upside down.... but the artist turned it on its side and called it art. The dadaists challanged societies views of the norm.

 

i've just been looking it all up, looks really interesting, but im not so impressed with the poetry, but the art is extreamly good!

i like the challenging of the boundaries of art....

 

"such motions make me feel unworthy"

That is because you were not giving it ALL you had.....It only works when you go all the way to the true potential of yourself...regaurdless !

(It is'nt really dada(whatever)...It's real name is zen)
