The Best!

Hello everyone!

The topic of this week is about of best in my field, the art history.

Topic very difficult for me because I believe that nobody is better than another. In my opinion all people are different and be important. It depends on the subjectivity of each person.

I like the art and I like many artists. Is not easy for me choose just one. But in this moment in my life I decided to talk about Dada or Dadaism. I chose the Dada movement because it is a criticism of the art institution. 

 

The Dadaism is a cultural movement. That emerged in 1916.  It begins in Switzerland. The movement involved many artistic expressions like literature, visual arts, art theory and poetry and other more.  The first person in talk about Dadaism is Hugo Ball (he writes the first Dadaist manifesto)

Dadaism was characterized as a movement presented as a critique of the institution-art. Is the movement of the anti-art.  This movement not accepts and oppose to the existing art forms and conventions. Dada does not accept the principles of art, logic,

The Dadaists are against the immobility. They were in favor of individual liberty, freedom of expression. The Dadaist t prefers the chaos and imperfection rather than the order and perfection of the art set. Dada is often asked what art is. Dada denies the aesthetic, reason, sense, the construction of consciousness.

The Dada worked the photomontage in magazines and posters. There are also paintings and assembly works.

The most famous Dada work is this “Fountain” by Marcel Duchamp. And He was the most important Dada artist (one classmate talk about Duchamp, see her blog)

The other work called "Fruit of a great experience" by Max Ernst, Dada is collage. It shows a diverse group of objects made ​​by artist arbitrarily.The work does not exist great technical or intervention of the artist. Also, the title, "The fruit of long experience," notes the irony that characterizes the Dadaism.
