here is a review about dadaism and surrealism
Dada was an art movement that started in Zurich Switzerland around 1916. It came about mainly because of the atrocities and insanity of World War 1, and it tried to find and experiment with new forms of art in an attempt to refresh the creative act. After the end of the war in 1918, Dada spread to Germany, (Berlin, Cologne, Hanover), where it was to rebel against fascist policies of the up-and-coming far right movements, as shown by the rise to power of the Nazi party. Dada was important in Art history as it paved the way and laid the foundations for surrealism which was to follow. Many of the artists working in dada later became influential and active within surrealism. Although Dada groups existed in several forms for longer and shorter periods in other areas such
in Paris, Italy, the Netherlands and New York. It's real and its proper home has always been in Zurich (Switzerland), and also a bit in post world war 1 Germany.
Surrealism was founded in 1924 in reaction to the materialism of the Western World. Breton’s theories came from Freud’s psychoanalytic experiments (when he tried to find out things about peoples dreams). Surrealism was all about trying to create a dreamlike image that makes you think hard about it.
Surrealism took two routes: The first was the automatic writing of the poets who tried to produce a flow of ideas into your unconsciousness mind.
The second was a dream world where objects were placed in strange positions to reconstruct a dream.
The surrealists greatly admired the Comte de Lautreamont who made the simile which describes surrealism exactly, “beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.”
The Cubist Object
The first cubist objects were made by Picasso. He got pieces of string, or roughly cut pieces of wood and made them into guitars. The cubists used any pieces of rubbish and turned them into art it was a period that showed that art was not just sculptures, paintings or drawings but art could be made from anything.
The Futurist Object
The difference between the cubist object and the futurist object is not always clear. However, the idea of the futurist object is to give a notion of speed or movement e.g. the dynamism of the race horse by Boccioni.
The Dada Object
The dada object is an ordinary object such as an umbrella or a pencil which is made into a piece of art Duchamp made many of these “ready mades”. However the difference between dada and surrealism is difficult to see e.g. the picture below entitled “Why Not Sneeze?” Is closer to surrealism than dadaism.
The Surrealist Object
Surrealism brings together two different things e.g. a sewing machine and a tea cup on a table. The idea is to disturb or to surprise you.
The Pop Object
Pop Art makes frequent use of commercial objects e.g. Andy Warhol’s coke bottle. Unlike dada pop art tries to make a new standard of beauty rather than trying to undermine art.
max ernst was a very important dada artist:
Botticelli did not like landscape paintings he said, “By throwing a sponge soaked with different colours at a wall one can make a spot in which a beautiful landscape can be seen.” But his colleague Leonardo da Vinci answered, “Botticelli is right,one is bound to see bizarre inventions in such a smudge, I mean that he who gazes attentively at the spot will see in it human heads, various animals, a battle, rocks, the sea, clouds, thickets and still more. It is like the tinkling of a bell which makes one hear what one imagines. Although that stain may suggest ideas, it will not teach you to complete any art.” Max Ernst as a child had a piece of false mahogany across his bed which he looked at while half asleep he became “obsessed and irritated by the grooves” on it and eventually put a piece of paper on it and rubbed a pencil on it, this created a picture and by looking at it carefully as Leonardo da Vinci suggested, you could make out various pictures, below is one of these pictures entitled, “The Stallion And The Bridge Of The Wind”. Ernst had created anew technique called frottage where by rubbings were taken from textured materials e.g. leaves and were to suggest strange images ( like below ).
