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.
Dadaists are anarchists, not socialists. In some cases, they were primitive fascists who adopted bakunin's slogan: Destroy is create.
origin
Dadaism is dadaism. It is a bourgeois literary school that rose in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. There are always different opinions about the origin of the word "Dada". Some people think that this word is meaningless, while others think that it comes from the colloquial phrase "da, da" often used by Romanian artists Zara and Gianko, which means "yes, yes" in Romanian.
The most popular saying is that in 19 16, a group of artists gathered in Zurich to prepare a name for their organization. They casually opened a French-German dictionary and chose a word at random, that is, "Dada". In French, the word "Dada" means rocking a horse for children to play with.
Therefore, this movement was named "Dadaism" to show its randomness, rather than a "literary movement" in the general sense.
Dadaism is a literary movement that rose in Zurich during the World War I, which influenced visual arts, literature (mainly poetry), drama and artistic design. Dadaism is an important school in the development of western literature and art in the 20th century, and it is the product of the subversion and destruction of the old social and cultural order in Europe in the First World War.
Dadaism, as a literary movement, has not existed for a long time, but it has spread widely, which has had an impact on all modernist literary schools in the 20th century.
