Constructivism

was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning in 1913 by Vladimir
Tatlin. This was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. He wanted 'to construct' art. The movement
was in favour of art as a practice for social purposes. Constructivism had a great effect on modern art
movements of the 20th century, influencing major trends such as the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements.
Its influence was widespread, with major effects upon architecture, sculpture, graphic design, industrial
design, theatre, film, dance, fashion and, to some extent, music.
 Dadaism
is an artistic movement in modern art that started around World War I. Its
purpose was to ridicule the meaninglessness of the modern world. Its peak was
1916 to 1922, and it influenced surrealism, pop art, and punk rock. It went
against the standards of society. Followers of Dadaism included Antonin Artaud,
Max Ernst, and Salvador Dali. A later version, called Neo-Dada, arose in the
1960s.

Dadaism began gaining popularity around Western Europe specifically in Berlin

and Zurich. Dadaism eventually moved to Paris along with one of the "presidents
of Dada", Tristan Tzara who would go on to "lead" the Dadaists of Paris.Dadaism
is also closely associated with the concepts of the grotesque, the absurd, and the
macabre that were communicated through the arts slightly later in the twentieth
century. The idea of ridiculing the absurdity of existence finds its most poignant
expression through the dramatic art of Samuel Beckett and the so called school
of Paris, which included Arthur Adamov, Jean Genet, and Eugene O'Neill.
