  2. The Birth of Dadaism Because of the war, many artists, intellectuals and writers, especially those from France and Germany, moved to Switzerland. Instead of being relieved that they had escaped, the artists, intellectuals, and writers were furious with the modern society. They decided to show their protest through artistic medium. This art movement was a protest, but at the same time it managed to be enjoyable and amusing. It was sarcastic, colorful, quirky, and silly. However, each Dada artist was very serious about his work. Zurich, Switzerland During WWI 1916-1922

  3. Dada Composers Musicians who labeled themselves as Dadaists were difficult to find for several reasons: • The movement incorporated the music of composers with very different styles • None of whom was directly involved in the Dada movement • Composers and musicians were extremely reluctant to identify themselves with a particular artistic movement • The Dada movement only seemed to attract visual artists and writers, and no dancers and musicians. There was a limited number of musicians who did identify themselves with or were associated with the Dadaist movement. • Hans Heusser, a Swiss Composer • Albert Savinio, "disharmonious"

  5. Hugo Ball1886-1927German Author, poet, leading Dada Artist First Dada Manifesto July 14, 1916 "An International word. Just a word, and the word a movement. Very easy to understand. Quite terribly simple. To make of it an artistic tendency must mean that one is anticipating complications. Dada psychology, dada Germany cum indigestion and fog paroxysm, dada literature, dada bourgeoisie, and yourselves, honoured poets, who are always writing with words but never writing the word itself, who are always writing around the actual point. Dada world war without end, dada revolution without beginning, dada, you friends and also-poets, esteemed sirs, manufacturers, and evangelists. Dada Tzara, dada Huelsenbeck, dada m'dada, dada m'dada dada mhm, dada dera dada, dada Hue, dada Tza."

  6. Hugo Ball’s Manifesto’s 3 Main Points • Dada is international in perspective and seeks to bridge differences • Dada is antagonistic toward established society in the modern avant-garde, Bohemian tradition of the épater-le-bourgeios posture • Dada is a new tendency in art that seeks to change conventional attitudes and practices in aesthetics, society, and morality."
