Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality and intuition. Dadaism art primarily concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Dada paintings influenced later styles like the avant-garde and downtown music movements, and groups including surrealism, Nouveau réalisme, pop art and Fluxus.

World War I is part of the inspiration of Dadaism, which was created as a reaction to artists revolting against a capitalist society. The art movement was huge worldwide, although it enjoyed the most success in Europe. There are very little restrictions in Dadaism, starting with how artists like Francis Picabia portrayed it in his work. Marcel Duchamp named the movement in 1913, and it served as a perfect characterization of the movement as a whole. Along with the many artists that participated with their Dadaism paintings, there was also several demonstrations, speeches and key media surrounding the heart of the art. -- The Copyright of Scripts is Reserved by Toperfect.
