Thinking without that box...Dadaism

Probably one of the more bizarre arts....OK very bizarre arts and started right after the end of the first World War. Some artists were were against the barbarism of WWI and thought that the war was completely pointless.So in response they decided to make a movement called dadaism. The really bizarre thing was, the Artist called Dada Art "Anti-Art" and was suppose to be the complete opposite of art. When art was traditionally suppose to hold beauty, Dada did not care about beauty. When art held meaning, Dada did not have meaning, it was not suppose to have meaning to it and the artists strive to do this. These Dada artists wanted offend people who loved art and to crush art itself. Of course it was unsuccessful on both accounts because 1. Some people actually enjoyed the art and 2. It became an art movement in which most people are sure the artists said "BLOODY HELL!". If you still want to know more about Dada Art, check out this site:
