Dadaism Art Movement is a painting style that appeared in France, Germany and Switzerland from 19 16 to 1923. Dadaism is an anarchist art movement, which tries to discover the real reality by abolishing traditional cultural and aesthetic forms. Dadaism was led by a group of young artists and anti-war activists, who expressed their despair of bourgeois values and World War I through anti-aesthetic works and protests.

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.

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, that is, I feel nothing, nothing, nothingness and birds." "

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.

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. By 192 1, 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 their last gathering and collapsed, and many of their members immediately turned to join the ranks of realistic writers.
