The Dadaists: a Synopsis.

THE DADAISTS is the true story of the painters and poets who gathered in a small Zurich cabaret during World War I and continually sought, through artistic experiments, for a way out of a world hell-bent on war and destruction.

DADA was the turn that shaped 20th century art. It influenced Surrealism, the Expressionists, the Beat Poets, Andy Warhol, Punk Rock and Performance Artists to this day. It grew from a contemptuous response towards a culture and society that accepted a war that was annihilating 5,600 civilians and soldiers every day.
