I am doing a thing for art that I have 2 different art styles. 1 is Surrealism and the other is DADA. I think that these 2 are Close but that is my observation. They both were made in The early 1900's Or early 20th century.
Surrealism Lasted from 1920 to 1930.
DADA Lasted from 1916 to 1920.
DADA
DADA was officially not a movement.
This was also a literacy movement as well as an art movement.
French, from DADA, hobby-horse. This type of art was a rejection of laws of beauty and social things. Also it was made by Non-Artists. There also was a sculpture made called Fountain... Which I think is weird.
Here it is
It was signed with a fake signature. It was made by the person named Marcel Duchamp. Also he did the mustache on the fake Mona Lisa. this was seized upon by the group as appropriate for their anti-aesthetic creations
Surrealism
It was a new mode of expression. Also this was a type of writing.
It was clever and whimsical disregard for tradition fostered by Dadaism a decade earlier.
It was considered to be anti-art or non-art.
It's roots were found in DADA.
André Brenton is known as the pope of surrealism. but he was a french poet.
Surrealism is defined as "Psychic automatism"
This was a fusion of elements of fantasy.
The organized movement Surrealist movement in Europe dissolved with the onset of World War II.
