Dadaism

An art style founded by Hans Arp in
Zurich after World War I which challenged the
established canons of art, thoughts, morality, etc.
Disgusted with the war and society in general,
Dadaists expressed their feelings by creating
"non-art." The term Dada, a nonsense or baby-talk
term, symbolizes the loss of meaning in the European
culture. Dada art is difficult to interpret since there is
no common foundation. Since Dadaists did not claim
that the objects they created were art, all objects
(including found objects that were retrieved from
waste bins and such, could be incorporated to
create non-art.
