The DADA Movement.

DADA DADA DADA


Dada had only one rule: Never follow any known rules.
Dada work is random and spontaneous. I quite like that. My style is very random, I don't like specific structure. There are many aspects to this form of design which I will investigate.


When text is used, it is complete random, there are all sorts of different fonts and sizes used within each piece. There is some illegible typography, words that flow in all sorts of directions, words printed on top of eachother, and upper case and lower case used with no method at all.

Kurt Schwitters

Kurt Schwitters was an artist, graphic designer, typographer, set designer and poet who moved to Hannover in 1919 after completing his studies at the Berlin Akademie. He published his own version of Dadaism called "Merz". He uses many different mediums in his piece that include newspaper clippings, paint, crayon, cardboard, and scraps of paper.

This piece to the right is called Undbid.

André Breton

When Tristan Tzara came to Paris from Zürich in 1916, Breton joined the Paris DaDa movement together with his friends Paul Eluard and Phillipe Soupal. When it came to the DaDa publications in Paris, Brenton played a big role.



This piece is called Surrealist Landscape .

Richard Huelsenbeck

On January the 17th, Richard Huelsenbeck moved to Berlin which is where he founded the Berlin Dada group.

Richard Huelsenbeck was the editor of the Dada Almanach, and wrote Dada Sieght, En Avant Dada and other Dadaist works. He was the author of many Dada publications, and claimed throughout his life that "dada is still existing".
