More expressionism – extreme abstraction • Kandinsky & German Expressionist group, DerBlaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) “The observer must learn to look at [my] pictures … as form and color combinations … as a representation of mood and not as a representation of objects.” - Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)

  34. Dadaism • Attacked all accepted standards of art and behavior • “Dada” = “hobbyhorse” (nonsensical)

  35. Start of The Dada Manifesto (1918, Tristan Tzara) “The magic of a word – DADA – which has placed the Newsmen before the Gate of an unexpected world Has for us no Importance whatsoever.”

  36. More from The Dada Manifesto “Thus was DADA born of a need for independence, of suspicion for the community. Those who belong to us keep their freedom. We recognize no theory. We have enough of the cubist and futuristic academies: laboratories of formalistic ideas. Does one engage in art to earn money and stroke the pretty bourgeois?”

  47. Movies = huge entertainment. Offered a form of escape.
