Literary Aesthetic Classification Creation Dadaism Photography

Dadaism photography is a school of photography that came into being after the First World War, which was mainly the product of young people's mental depression at that time. During the First World War, all countries and all kinds of literature and art, including photography, all advocated their own ideas. After the First World War, the social unrest brought by the war made the young people at that time doubt and shake the traditional things. They even think that everything in the world is not worthy of trust and nostalgia. Only the baby's unconscious language "Dada" is true and harmless. So they took "Dada" as the genre name. Dadaism photographers believe that art should be the same as the babbling of the baby "Dada". Although it lacks logic, rules and order, it is true. They believe that real art does not need any logic, law, order and other things in the old traditional aesthetics. Therefore, many things they shoot are difficult to understand with some ready-made items cut or uncut collage. Sometimes Dadaists will put some dirty things and even urinals in the picture, thinking that this is a challenge to traditional art.

Dadaism photography pursues a nihilistic attitude. Like many artists, they believe that artistic creation has a rich source, but they also believe that this source should come from people's "subconscious". Dadaism had a certain influence in the western society at that time. Later surrealist photographers, pop photographers after World War II and Dadaism all have deep roots and are all influenced by Dadaism.
