Dada is a movement that started in Switzerland in the first World War, it involved visual arts, literture, poetry, graphic design and theatre. It was very much 'anti-war' and was an anarchist in nature. Dadaism influenced many later styles such as the avant-garde, surrealism, pop art and punk.
Artists in this movement include; Max Ernst, Kurt Schwitters, Johannes Baader, John Heartfield and Hannah Hoch... Some examples of there work follow in order....
Hannah Hoch is my favourite Dada artist, I love the black and white cutouts against the colour backgrounds and the surrealism in them...
