33. First edition of Tzara’s journal “Dada” (1917) “I know that you have come here today to hear explanations. Well, don’t expect to hear any explanations about Dada. You explain to me why you exist. You haven’t the faintest idea. Dada is a state of mind. Dada applies itself to everything and yet it is nothing, it is the point where the yes and the no and all the opposites meet, not solemnly in the castles of human philosophies, but very simply at street corners, like dogs and grasshoppers. Like everything in life, Dada is useless. Dada is without pretension, as life should be.” Tristan Tzara

34. Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism. Abstract Art moved away from pure representation! Black Square – Kazimir Malevich (1915) The Railway Crossing – Fernand Léger (1919)

35. Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism.

36. Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism.
