The Fountain [Marcel Duchamps]
The Readymades of Marcel Duchamps are
ordinary manufactured objects that the artist
selected and modified, as an antidote to what he
called "retinal art".
[1] By simply choosing the object (or objects) and
repositioning or joining, titling and signing it, the
object became art.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/cubismdadaism-190801071638/75/Cubism-Dadaism-28-2048.jpg)
Cubism & Dadaism
The document provides an overview of the Cubism and Dadaism art movements. It discusses the origins and key figures of Cubism, which began in 1907 in Paris and emphasized depicting objects from multiple viewpoints. It also summarizes Dadaism, which emerged as a protest to World War I and focused on irrationality and randomness.

- 6. Cubism consists oftwo stages Analytical : Very abstract; mostly made up of overlapping planes and geometrical figures. Synthetic: Tended to use new mediums, such as clips from newspaper, on top of paint canvas; took away all three dimensional aspects left from analytical.
- 7. Philosophy The cubists weremore intrigued by form than colour. They wanted to develop a new seeing entirely. They were interested in changing viewpoint as it was affected by space or time. The point of cubism was to show all viewpoints simultaneously.

- 16. Literature ● Cubism inliterature means shifting the literary perspective – that is, the points of view. ● It involves writing about events and people as they appear to one character, then repeating through the eyes of another, and then moving to yet another. ● It involves using different narrators for different chapters or even different paragraphs, so as to describe how each character views the others, put in the words, thoughts and feelings of the characters themselves.
- 17. Literature- Examples ● AGame of Thrones (R.R. Martin, 1996) - Book One of A Song of Fire and Ice Every one of the books in the series has a small cast of “POV characters,” and it is through these characters’ perspectives that we see the story unfold… This also means that villains who seem very one-dimensional can begin to be much more sympathetic once we get their point of view ● The Imperfectionists - Tom Rachman ● Getrude Stein
- 18. Music ● Cubism inmusic also exists: sound and time can be perceived from various viewpoints and centers of gravity. Combinations of natural elements (wood, metal, skin); music tradition (African, Indian, Middle Eastern); metric structures and unusual subdivisions can open music in all its sides for the listener. New angles in composition and arrangement unfold. ● Music can even be represented using geometric shapes: as vectors of sound in motion, as particles of musical thought. In South India the rhythm yatis are derived from the curl of a cow's tail, the barrel shaped mridangam drum, an hourglass of the damaru drum. North Indian rhythm cycles, math concepts of tihai and ginti, and African bell cycles can be realized as a compass, circles, flowing waves.

- 21. History of Dadaism ●Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada in Zurich, Switzerland, began in 1916, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter, but the height of New York Dada was the year before, in 1915. The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913 when he created his first readymades.

- 25. Origin of Term-Dadaism Theorigin of the name Dada is unclear; some believe that it is a nonsensical word. Others maintain that it originates from the Romanian artists Tristan Tzara's and Marcel Janco's frequent use of the words "da, da," meaning "yes, yes" in the Romanian language.
- 26. Origin of Term-Dadaism Anothertheory says that the name "Dada" came during a meeting of the group when a paper knife stuck into a French-German dictionary happened to point to 'dada', a French word for 'hobbyhorse'.
- 27. Why Dadaism? ● Dadaismcame up after the World War I as a protest to the killings and bloodshed. ● Since it was nonsensical art, it did not have any aesthetic appeal. ● The main aim of the movement was to ridicule and destroy the aesthetic importance of original art forms and make a spoof out of it.

- 29. Influence on Paintings Thecreation of Fountain began when, accompanied by artist Joseph Stella and art collector Walter Arsenberg, he purchased a standard Bedfordshire model urinal from the J. L. Mott Iron Works, 118 Fifth Avenue. The artist brought the urinal to his studio at 33 West 67th Street, reoriented it to a position 90 degrees from its normal position of use, and wrote
- 31. Collage Untitled(Squares Arranged accordingto the Laws of Chance) Hans Arp made a series of collages based on chance, where he would stand above a sheet of paper, dropping squares of contrasting colored paper on the larger sheet's surface, and then gluing the squares wherever they fell onto the page.The Dadaists imitated the techniques developed during the cubist movement
- 32. Collage through the pastingof cut pieces of paper items, but extended their art to encompass items such as transportation tickets, maps, plastic wrappers, etc. to portray aspects of life, rather than representing objects viewed as still life.
- 34. Photomontages The Dadaists –the "monteurs" (mechanics) – used scissors and glue rather than paintbrushes and paints to express their views of modern life through images presented by the media. A variation on the collage technique, photomontage utilized actual or reproductions of real photographs printed in the press.
- 35. Photomontages In Cologne, MaxErnst used images from the First World War to illustrate messages of the destruction of war
- 37. Assemblages The assemblages werethree-dimensional variations of the collage – the assembly of everyday objects to produce meaningful or meaningless (relative to the war) pieces of work including war objects and trash. Objects were nailed, screwed or fastened together in different fashions. Assemblages could be seen in the round or could be hung on a wall.
- 39. Dada Artists Key figuresin the movement included Hugo Ball, Emmy Hennings, Hans Arp, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, Johannes Baader, Tristan Tzara, Francis Picabia, Richard Huelsenbeck, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Marcel Duchamp, Beatrice Wood, Kurt Schwitters, Hans Richter, and Max Ernst, among others.
- 40. Philosophy ● Dadaism maybe one of the slipperiest and most deliberately annoying movements of modern art. It’s the sort of”art” that draws the rolled eyes, shaking heads,.It began in Zurich during the first World War as a collaborative effort among painters, writers and dramatists as well as other types of artists.
- 41. Philosophy ● Dada actuallyinvented a number of experimental art forms and techniques, which have contributed in several ways to the development of that tradition. This was by no means apparent at the time, as the Dada activists began to produce meetings designed to provoke controversy and even riots in support of their subversive agenda. The description of Dada as more of an "attitude" than a movement.
- 42. Characteristics ● Dada beganin Zurich and became an international movement. ● ›Dada had only one rule: Never follow any known rules. ● ›Dada art is whimsy. Almost all of the people who created it were ferociously serious, though. ● Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism. ● There was no predominant medium in Dadaist art. All things from geometric tapestries to glass to plaster and wooden reliefs were fair game. It's worth noting, though collage, and the use of ready made objects all gained wide acceptance due to their use in Dada ● Dada self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming "acceptable ● The Dadaists used shock as a means of challenging the public's sensibility and complacency about the contemporary world. In addition to challenging the rules for art, Dada's intent was to use art to encourage the public to think critically about all rules. ● Dada embraced the irrational in a number of ways It adopted the Freudian idea of free association as a method for freeing the unconscious from the censoring mechanisms of consciousness.. Another approach to subvert conscious control of the the art work was to incorporate chance and randomness in the creation of the art work.
