While there are many movements based in deep thought and consideration for each piece, Dada... well it just isn't one of them.
As a reactionary movement after WWI devastated Europe, the Dada artists questioned the very nature of art in their almost nonsensical work. Sometimes, even, it seemed that they put more work into their titles than the work (especially in pieces known as "readymades").

There are many movements that come after Dada which follow the same line of thought... what is art? Take it or leave it, it's a part of our art history. What do you think of dada?
