About Dadaism, my opinion
During world war I, people think what is the world is going.
So I think waste of World War i and the disorder influence the "dada" that left in its wake.
Dadaism against traditional painting and sculpture. And it can be an “anti-art” ideas and
attitudes as it is stated by anonymity.
It is a kind of joke that deconstruct the art work and it looks strange and ridiculous.
but in my opinion, It is an another part of stream of art.
Because I could find the trace its roots to Dada
Surrealism, Constructivism, Lettrism, THE BEAT POETS, Pop- and Op-Art, Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Punk Rock.
So It would be a expression of your opinion in the other way that represent behind meaning of the art that you think.
Dadaism
Dadaism
(1916-1924)
Raoul Hausmann Dadaism or Dada is a post-World War I cultural movement in visual art as well as literature (mainly poetry), theatre and graphic design. The movement was, among other things, a protest against the barbarism of the War and what Dadaists believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society; its works were characterized by a deliberate irrationality and the rejection of the prevailing standards of art. It influenced later movements including Surrealism.
According to its proponents, Dada was not art; it was anti-art. For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the opposite. Where art was concerned with aesthetics, Dada ignored them. If art is to have at least an implicit or latent message, Dada strives to have no meaning--interpretation of Dada is dependent entirely on the viewer. If art is to appeal to sensibilities, Dada offends. Perhaps it is then ironic that Dada is an influential movement in Modern art. Dada became a commentary on art and the world, thus becoming art itself.
The artists of the Dada movement had become disillusioned by art, art history and history in general. Many of them were veterans of World War I and had grown cynical of humanity after seeing what men were capable of doing to each other on the battlefields of Europe. Thus they became attracted to a nihilistic view of the world (they thought that nothing mankind had achieved was worthwhile, not even art), and created art in which chance and randomness formed the basis of creation. The basis of Dada is nonsense. With the order of the world destroyed by World War I, Dada was a way to express the confusion that was felt by many people as their world was turned upside down.

Cubism
In cubist artworks,
objects are broken up,
analyzed,
and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint,
the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject
in a greater context.
Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles,
removing a coherent sense of depth.
The background and object planes interpenetrate one another
to create the shallow ambiguous space,
one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
Cubism and its legacy continue to inform the work of many contemporary artists.
Not only is cubist imagery regularly used commercially but significant numbers of contemporary artists continue to draw upon it both stylistically and perhaps more importantly, theoretically.
As an essentially representational school of painting, having to come to grips with the rising importance of photography as an increasingly viable method of image making, cubism attempts to take representational imagery beyond the mechanically photographic, and to move beyond the bounds of traditional single point perspective perceived as though by a totally immobile viewer.
