Dada

Dada began in 1916 and is thought to have begun  in Zurich, Switzerland, created out of negative reactions towards world war 1. Dada rejected reason and logic and is know for irrationality and nonsense and rejecting traditional art and culture. Dada artists embraced chaos and nonsense as the believed that the reason and logic of capitalist had led to war. Different Dada groups formed in different city's, but by 1924 Dada had melted in to surrealism.
