not art

Dadaism was an anti-art movement that rose from the ashes of the first world war. I can't imagine the turmoil of that time. The artists rejected standards for art and used this to display their frustration with the war.....it was more than just frustration with the war. It was anger at the current world in general.

Hans Arp and Tzara and other artists got together in neutral Switzerland and made art.
