I'm crazy about DADA


DADA was indeed an interesting group of freelance artists that developed abstract art pieces. A revolution or art, during the World War era. This was a gathering for artists creating abstract pieces symbolizing idealism and mystery.

I really loved the little documentary about Manray and his creation of the Avant Guarde within DADA.

What really amazed me about Manrays work along with the rest of DADA was that the art movement was not sophisicated to class, structure, medium, or certain styles. Most of the sculptures were done by household items being reformed together and  photographs using various takes (adding film together and different elements).

What I got out of the documentary and DADA was the words of ManRay said, "Being accepted but not understood"

Those words alone make me feel happy, because that is who I am as an artist. Not everything in life should make sense, it should be a mytery for us to explore and without a doubt be accepted as art. Art is really in eyes of the beholder.

The movie really brought of the bits of making abstract art and colleagues. This is what made DADA and todays art.
