Members JanVanHove Posted November 27, 2006 Members Share Posted November 27, 2006 Maybe a look in the heart of the dadaist movement is in order... Dada is "anti-art" it seeks to reject art through art, to break down preconceptions, to rejects things that are central in art such as "esthetics" or "meaning"... So what are you supposed to understand? Nothing! And that's the whole point... Some art critics and historians have debated their hearts out, writing papers and theses on dadaist pieces. But by doing so missed the point completely... Dadaists hung urinals on gallery walls not because it's beautiful, or meaningful or worthy... they did it because it struck blows to the artistic establishement... Why artist still do that today is beyond me, the message has been given, art has changed... My 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the Dadaists were artists who rejected preconceived notions of what art should be. They often used everyday objects and modified or deconstructed them, rendering them unuseable, often with a comical or ironic twist. It was also seen by many as an answer to to the times (mid teens to early thirties), pointing out the absurd in life (war, for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that the dada movement made a lot of sense for its time, but so much of the modern art that's been influenced by it today just doesn't have the same context. To me at least, that means that a lot of that sort of modern art comes off as just pretentious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
