Artistic and literary movement founded 1915
in Zurich, Switzerland, by the Romanian poet
Tristan Tzara (1896-1963) and others in a
spirit of rebellion and disillusionment
during World War I. Other Dadaist groups were
soon formed by the artists Duchamp and Man
Ray in New York and Picabia in Barcelona.
Dada had a considerable impact on early
20th-century art, questioning established
artistic rules and values. With the German
writers Hugo Ball and Richard Huelsenbeck,
Tzara founded the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich
1916, where works by Hans Arp, the pioneer
Surrealist Max Ernst, and others were
exhibited. In New York in the same period the
artist Man Ray met Duchamp and Picabia and
began to apply Dadaist ideas to photography.
In the 1920s Dada evolved into Surrealism.
