Is Dadaism anti-art?
1 Answer
Yes, some people say Dadaism is anti-art. The reason for this description is that Dadaists sought to challenge societal norms and shock their audiences by producing works that defied the traditional definition of art. Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, a urinal repurposed into a fountain, is one excellent example of this approach. Shop a diverse assortment of Dadaist art on 1stDibs.
