Zurich Dada Group

The Zurich Dada Group was a collective of artists and writers in Zurich, Switzerland, during the early 20th century, around 1916-1920. They were part of the Dada movement, which rejected traditional art and societal norms by embracing chaos, absurdity, and spontaneity. Their goal was to challenge conventional ideas of aesthetics and culture, often using provocative, collage-like artwork and experimental techniques. The group played a key role in shaping modern art by questioning established values and encouraging free expression and innovation, reflecting the turbulent social and political climate of post-World War I Europe.
