Monday’s Muse: Dadaism
Dada, or Dadaism, was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early twentieth century born out of the negative reaction towards the horrors of World War I. Initiated by a group of artists and poets, Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality and intuition.
The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature, poetry, art manifestoes, art theory, theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. In addition to being anti-war, Dada was also anti-bourgeois and had political affinities with the radical left.
Monday’s Muse is dedicated to the people who love to create; for the dreamers, the makers and the believers. xx
