9 DADA: Precursor to Surrealism “DADA” french for hobby-horse Reaction against bourgeois interests and barbarism of WWI, “a world gone mad”; peaked 1916-1920 If reason & logic led to WWI, Dada rejected logic, embraced anarchy & the irrational Movement involving visual arts, literature, theater & graphic design Defiantly international vs. rampant nationalism Many Dadaists involved in multiple art forms. Wished to blur boundaries between different forms

10 DADA: The anti-art art Sought to fight art with art Based on principles of irrationality, anarchy, cynicism Rejection contemporary laws of beauty & social organization Ignored aesthetics Dada strove to have NO meaning, to offend Often playful, absurd, emotive, cryptic

19 The Surrealist Manifesto by Andre Breton, 1924 PSYCHIC AUTOMATISM in its pure state, by which one proposes to express -- verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner -- the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern.

20 Excerpts from Surrealist Manifesto I could spend my whole life prying loose the secrets of the insane. These people are honest to a fault, and their naiveté has no peer but my own. We are still living under the reign of logic: this, of course, is what I have been driving at. But in this day and age logical methods are applicable only to solving problems of secondary interest. Let us not mince words: the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful. Surrealism will usher you into death, which is a secret society. It will glove your hand, burying therein the profound M with which the word Memory begins. Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do; like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts. It is living and ceasing to live which are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
