Why was the art produced during the Dada movement considered art at all?
Dada art was considered art because its artists used it to challenge conventional ideas about beauty, skill, and what could count as art. Even when a work looked absurd or ordinary, its concept and its protest against war and established culture gave it meaning.
Where did the term Dada come from, and what does it mean?
It was a nonsense word possibly chosen at random from a dictionary (French for 'hobby horse'); it has no meaning.
