AI overview
Dada was an avant-garde artistic movement that emerged around 1920, as exemplified by the First International Dada Fair held in Berlin in June of that year, where artists created provocative works like the pig-headed officer effigy. The movement mattered because it represented a radical rejection of conventional art and society, using absurdity and shock as tools to challenge established norms during a period of post-war upheaval.

Je suis venu sur les rivages du Pont-Euxin'', New York, 1915 Dada () or Dadaism was an international art movement that developed in the context of the Great War and Futurism first established in Zürich, Switzerland, and later quickly spread to Berlin, Paris, New York City and a variety of artistic centers in Europe and Asia. The Dada movement's principles were first collected in Hugo Ball's Dada Manifesto in 1916. Ball is seen as the founder of the Dada movement. Other key figures in the movement included Emmy Hennings, Jean Arp, Johannes Baader, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, George Grosz, Raoul Hausmann, John Heartfield, Hannah Höch, Richard Huelsenbeck, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Hans Richter, Kurt Schwitters, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Tristan Tzara, and Beatrice Wood, among others. The movement influenced later styles like the avant-garde and downtown music movements, and groups including Surrealism, nouveau réalisme, pop art, and Fluxus.
