Look Back(2)From Dadaism to Surrealism


   Generally speaking, people have identified with the fact that the Surrealism is mostly generated from the Dadaism.










--------      Dadaism(1916-1923)

   Dadaism first sprouted in Switzerland during the First World War. It was leaded by young artists and the anti-war groups.

"Dada is a state of mind... Dada is artistic free thinking... Dada gives itself to nothing... ." 




They expressed their desperate to the first world war as well as to the value of the bourgeoisie.That is the reason why they had the nihilistic attitude and meanwhile set the norm of ‘ruin everything'. Gradually, countries near Switzerland started to be influenced by the Dadaism, especially France and Germany.
