Artists’ Corner-In The Aftermath Of World War I- Dada Takes A Stab At Visually Understanding The World After the Bloodbath

I don’t know that much about the Dada movement that swept through Europe in the early part of the 20^th century in response to the creation of modern industrial society that was going full steam and the modern industrial scale death and destruction brought upon this good green earth by World War I. The war to end all wars which came up quite short of that goal but did decimate the flower of the European youth, including vast swaths of the working class. I don’t know much but this space over this centennial year of the last year of the bloody war, the armistice year which stopped the bloodletting will explore that interesting art movement which reflected the times, the bloody times.
