POST #20

What is the Dada Movement? Well  technically  it is not a movement at all. Artists during the time of World War 2 didn't approve of the war. They decided to make a joke of it and developed "not art" artworks. This had an affect on people in that time . They also decided to call themselves Dadaists, some may ask "What is Dada?" Dada doesn't mean anything, weird huh? Their artworks were weird and soon it became normal to non artists. There are many artists who was involved in Dadaism, one in particular is Jean Arp. He made his work based on the movement. Here is one of his works..

Jean Arp made a collage with blue and white squares of different sizes. People were fascinated with this. They have never seen anything like it and was curious of how it was made. There are numerous of artists that produced works that facinated others.
