“Modernism” by the Critics“ For the younger artists of France have
completely thrown overboard the ideals of perfection and form, of grace and measure and tranquility, which we are accustomed to think as their most valuable possession.”
“…their (Dadaist’s) manifestos and tracts – with which it is proposed to ‘purge’ French art of its slavish subservience to rules.”
from “The Aesthetic Upheaval in France” by Edmund Wilson Jr., Vanity Fair February 1922

“Modernism” by the Artists“ Seven years ago, I tried to make a painting that would live by its own resources…At the present time I am doing research in art. My conclusions? I cannot explain my present researches until I myself have evolved out of them, that is to say, until I have gone further in my artistic evolution.”
Francis Picabia, quoted from “Francis Picabia and his Puzzling Art (an extremely modernized
academician)”, from Vanity Fair November 1915

Characteristics of Dada Art
Nonsensical drawingsPastel and faded colorsUsed collages and layers – to confuse the “unworthy beholder.”“The beginnings of surrealism” – many Dada artists went on to become members of the Surrealist movement.Subjects sometimes mundane, called art as irony. (e.g.– bicycle wheel, flyer.)
