Neo-Dada
Neo-Dadaism was an artistic movement that shared similar techniques and values with the Dada movement. One of its main objectives was to bridge the gap between the art world and everyday life, using elements of iconoclasm and appropriation.
Neo-Dadaism refers mainly to work produced during the 1960s, when the term was popularized by American art historian and critic Barbara Rose. Dadaism had seen a resurgence in the 1950s following various publications that discussed the movement, such as American artist Robert Motherwell's 1951 work The Dada Painters and Poets. Neo-Dadaism was an international movement that influenced later artistic movements around the world, including Pop Art, Fluxus and Nouveau Réalisme.
Neo-Dadaism is characterized by its use of new materials, visual elements taken from pop culture, and absurdism. Members of the movement challenged traditional notions of beauty in art, influenced by earlier artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Kurt Schwitters. Some famous examples of Neo-Dada art are the “junk sculptures" of Richard Stankiewicz, composed of pieces of scrap metal, and Piero Manzoni's Consacrazione dell'arte dell'uovo sodo, (Artistic consecration of the hard-boiled egg), consisting of a single hard-boiled egg marked with the artist's thumbprint in black ink.
Elements inspired by Neo-Dadaism can be found in the work of many contemporary artists, such as Alwin Reamillo and Jane McAdam Freud. Discover the whole selection of artists today!
