Swiss Dada

Swiss Dada was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in Zurich around 1916 as a response to the chaos of World War I. It rejected traditional aesthetic standards, emphasizing absurdity, randomness, and anti-war sentiments. Artists used unconventional techniques like collage, photomontage, and nonsensical performances to challenge established norms and provoke thought about societal values. Swiss Dada aimed to question the meaning of art and truth, encouraging a spirit of rebellion and experimentalism that influenced future modern art movements.
