Dadaism

Dadaism DADA The word Dada simply means rocking horse in its native tongue. But over the past century it has taken on a whole new meaning. In Zurich, Switzerland, 1916, the chance meeting of a collection of young artists sparked a group we know today as Dada. Most were young men retreating to neutral Switzerland during World War I. After meeting, they collaborated to develop a style of organized chaos that would be imaginative, and convey a message. The Dada movement’s artists took many shapes. Every media available was used. Paintings, periodicals, and flyers were all commonly used. There are no set rules to Dada, only that when reading it your audience should have to think; they should have to try and piece together the puzzle that you have dada, message, young, switzerland, style, soon, should, reader, paintings, often, newspaper, meeting, artists, zurich, worldly, world, works, word, won’t, whole, while, war, view, untidy, unscramble, understand, try, tool, took, tongue, together, today, think, taken
