"The Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man."
American Art News
Raoul Hausman
Art historians have described Dada as being, in large part, "in reaction to what many of these artists saw as nothing more than an insane spectacle of collective homicide."
John Heartfield
Dada artists described the movement as "a phenomenon bursting forth in the midst of the postwar economic and moral crisis, a savior, a monster, which would lay waste to everything in its path. [It was] a systematic work of destruction and demoralization."
Hannah Hoch
Dada is the groundwork to abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to postmodernism, an inuence on pop art, a celebration of anti-art to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960s and the movement that lay the foundation for Surrealism.
Marc Lowenthal, Translator's introduction to Francis Picabia's I Am a Beautiful Monster: Poetry, Prose, And Provocation (MIT Press 2007)
Raoul Hausman
Surrealism
Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur. Leader Andr Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s on, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, lm, and music, of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, and philosophy and social theory. wikipedia
