  1. Dada and NeueSachlichkeit

  2. Dada The attitude of the Dadaists toward war differed from that of the Futurists in that The Dadaists were revolted at the butchery of the World War. They believed reason and logic had been responsible for the unmitigated disaster of world war, and they concluded that the only route to salvation was through political anarchy, the irrational, and the intuitive. The Futurists believed war had a cleansing action. They depicted war in a sanitized way.
