This episode we talk about one of art history's most justified temper tantrums, Dada.Developed by a group of predominantly German artists during World War I, Dada defined itself as being about nothing. They were so anti-establishment, in fact, that they created an entire anti-art movement to show it. But actually, the movement arose as a reaction to the violent nationalism of many European countries during the war, and a rejection of the logic, reason and aesthetic of modern capitalism. Many of their works are protest works, railing against war, the bourgeoise and authority.The mockery and oppositional defiance of Dadaist art was so influential that if you squint, you can still see it all over Reddit.Links:Dada MovementHugo Ball's Dada ManifestoHannah HochKurt SchwittersThe First International Dada FairPrussian ArchangelOur WebsiteYoutubeHaunted Cow InstagramBarely Emerging Instagram Hosted on Acast.
