Framed Dada Artwork

Dada was a popular artistic movement in Europe and America in the early twentieth century. One of the goals of many pieces of framed dada art was to subvert the viewer’s expectation of what art should look like. Dada was extremely controversial in its time but has gone on to influence later major artistic movements, such as surrealism and pop art.

The early Dada artists began in Zurich in the mid-1910s, and a similar group of artists in New York also worked with a Dada approach around this time. These artists were outraged by the outbreak of World War I and used their framed dada art pieces to express their dissatisfaction with the war and what they considered to be bourgeois culture as a whole. Dada art was a protest against a variety of things in society, and as such was meant to unsettle its audience.
Francis Picabla’s “Portrait d'une jeune fille americaine dans l'etat de nudite” is a great example of early framed dada art pictures. Although the title hints toward a subject of a nude young woman, the actual work looks like an architectural diagram of a piece of machinery that might not even be real. Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky) used his background as a photographer to create collage pieces like “The Coat-Stand (Porte manteau).”

Although the Dada movement faded after the mid-1920s, it produced some of the twentieth century’s most recognizable art. Marcel Duchamp’s term “anti-art” has gone on to be claimed by many artists after him who which to subvert their viewers’ expectations.
