Dada Movement
Intellectual and artistic movement that appeared in New York and Zurich (1916), spread throughout Europe until 1923 and exercised, through its subversive practice, a decisive influence on various avant-garde movements. (We also say dadaism.)
Dada, an international movement of artists and writers, was born of an intense distaste for the war, which, in his view, marked the collapse of civilizations, culture and reason. Terrorist, provocateur, iconoclast, refusing any ideological, moral or artistic constraint, he advocates confusion, demoralization, absolute doubt and releases the virtues of spontaneity, kindness, joy of living.

    The ‘contradiction between art and society is as indispensable an element of the Marxist interpretation of the history of art as is the doctrine of their unity’ (Lifschitz, 1938, pg. 68). Indeed, Marxist thought is inclusive of an abundance of key concepts that intertwine with the arts in an ‘indispensable’ way. Such concepts include popular culture, class conflict and, namely, the ongoing Marxist struggle of capitalism within society. Many works can be discussed through a Marxian lens which generally offer powerful interpretations for art within society. This essay will analyse the ways in which Marxism assists in the understanding of the arts and, more specifically, the ways in which art responds to political agendas of the time.

    Fatherless. Growing up as an African-American female, I have come to certain realizations that have made me more cautious of the people I chose to associate myself with on a day-to-day basis based on ignorance that society distributes for others’ use. For example, society portrays the black cultural without a father raised in a single-mother household in a low-income environment. By providing this image to the world, it allows them to interpret that image in any way they chose. In my case, my father was in my life for a short period of time which proved that stereotype right.
