High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dada was an artistic and cultural movement identified with the years 1915-1923. Usually considered to have originated in Zurich, the Dadaist’s, and those affiliated with this loose network of artists, spread out across Europe as well as into other countries, with New York being the most important city for Dada in the United States. Notoriously difficult to define (the word Dada itself has disputed origins, even, if not especially, amongst the Dadaists themselves) this movement has had continuous reverberations in New York art culture, as well as in the art world generally, since its inception. Not least of which being the New York School and Pop Art, although the attempt to articulate solid links between Dada and these movements is always going to be tenuous at best. Any attempt must begin philosophically with an acknowledgement of the Dadaists demand to create a new world, as well as artistically with the techniques they used to do so.
