Dada – 1910s –1920s Dada was a protest by a group of European artists against World War I, high class society, and how conservative traditional thought was. Its followers used absurdities to create artworks which defied any intellectual thought. Dada was not art, it was "anti-art". Everything for which art stood, Dada represented the opposite. If art was to appeal to sensibilities, Dada was intended to offend.
