Anti-art movements

Anti-art movements challenge traditional notions of art by rejecting established standards of beauty, technique, and meaning. They emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the commercialization and elitism of traditional art, aiming to provoke thought and question what qualifies as art. Movements like Dada andSurrealism used unconventional materials, bizarre images, and provocative ideas to disrupt conventions, emphasizing spontaneity, chaos, and the subjective nature of artistic experience. Overall, anti-art seeks to broaden the boundaries of creative expression and encourage viewers to reconsider their assumptions about art's purpose and value.
