Analysis:

Dadaism Art Movement is a painting style that appeared in France, Germany and Switzerland from 19 16 to 1923. Dadaism is an artistic movement without * * * ism, which tries to discover the real reality by abolishing traditional culture and aesthetic forms. Dadaism is led by a group of young artists and anti-war activists who express their despair of bourgeois values and World War I through anti-aesthetic works and activities.

Zara, an advocate of Dadaism, defined Dadaism in his manifesto. He said: "This is an unbearable cry of pain, a mixture of various constraints, contradictions, absurd things and illogical things. This is life." The purpose of Dadaism and their desire for new visual illusions and new contents show that they are re-examining the tradition with a critical concept and trying to get rid of the anti-mainstream cultural form. The destructive impulse of Dadaism has had an important impact on contemporary culture and has become one of the central topics of art in this century.

The rise of dadaism

Dadaism is a bourgeois literary and artistic school that appeared in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. During World War I, it was first produced in Switzerland. 19 15 Autumn Committee, several young artists in exile in Zurich, Switzerland, including Romanian Tristan Zara, French Hans Arp and two other Germans, organized a literary group named "Dada" in Voltaire Hotel; 19 19 organized the "Dada" group in Paris, France, thus forming the Dada School.

Dadaism, which comes from the French word "Dada", is a word they accidentally found in the dictionary, meaning ethereal, confused and indifferent; French originally meant "Trojan horse". It takes the name of the baby's initial pronunciation, indicating the baby's pure physiological reaction to the surrounding things during the language learning period. It is claimed that writers' literary and artistic creation should also queue up to accept the interference of ideas and only express the impressions felt by the senses, just like babies learning English. In the declaration drafted by Zara, he once defined "Dada" as follows: "Freedom: Dada, Dada's Dada is an unbearable howl of pain, a mixture of various constraints, contradictions, absurd things and illogical things; This is life. " Some people further explained: "Dada means that you can't feel anything, nothing, nothing, nothing." "

The purpose of dadaism

Dadaists are nihilistic about everything. They often use Pascal's famous saying to express themselves: "I don't even want to know that there are others before me." Looking back on the Dadaism Movement, Zara said: "The purpose is to try to prove that poetry is a vital force in all situations, and words are just accidental sustenance of poetry. It is nothing more than the expression of such natural things as poetry. Because I can't find a suitable adjective, I have to call it Dada. "

Dadaists' code of action is to destroy everything. They claim that artistic wounds should be like shells. After people are killed, they should burn their bodies to disappear. Humans should not leave any traces on the earth. They advocate denying everything, destroying everything and overthrowing everything. Therefore, Dadaism is the concrete expression of nihilism in literature. It reflects the depressed psychology and empty mental state of some young people in the West during the First World War.

The collapse of dadaism

Since the establishment of Dada Group in Paris in 19 19, Paris has become the base of this genre, and the literary magazine Literature has also become the mouthpiece of Dada. Writers who participated in this genre included Brotons, Aragon, Su Bo, Ai Lvya and picabia. Although Dadaism once attracted people's attention, it was not lasting because of spiritual emptiness. In 192 1 year, some college students in Paris carried a paper figure symbolizing "Dada" and threw it into the Seine to "drown" to show their hatred for Dada. 1923, the members of Dadaism held the last * * * and announced their disintegration. Many of its members immediately turned to join the ranks of realistic writers.

The schools of modern literature and art that emerged during the First World War. The advocate is the French poet Tristan Zara. 19 16, Zara formed a literary group with some young poets in Zurich, Switzerland. They opened a dictionary, pointed casually with their hands, and named it after the word "Dada". "Dada" was originally a language for children, meaning "horse". It doesn't make any sense to regard it as the banner of literary and artistic activities. But the purpose of Dadaism is to oppose all meaningful things, all traditions, all customs, and all literature and art that are considered meaningful, including Dadaism. It advocates using dreamy and chaotic language and grotesque images to express incredible things. While the unprecedented war is destroying the material world and people's lives, a group of young people hate this war and the spiritual world that produced it. They want to deny this spiritual world, but they don't know what to replace it with. What they realize is that the old spiritual world must be completely destroyed before a new spiritual world can be created. This is the fundamental significance of Dada Movement.

Dadaists' mental state is very empty, and they often express it in Pascal's words: "I don't even want to know that there are others before me." Looking back on the Dada Movement, Zara said: "The purpose is to try to prove that poetry is a vital force in various situations, and words are nothing more than accidental sustenance of poetry. It is nothing more than the expression of such natural things as poetry. Because I can't find a suitable adjective, I have to call it Dada. " Zara believes that the historical significance of the Dada Movement lies in: "The principle guiding our actions is indeed' destroy everything', but its value is also clearing the way for the follow-up things."
