Dada art was a European movement that started in 1916 and was founded in Zurich. The context behind this movement was to raise the shock from the First World War and also because Switzerland was neutral. The main idea of the Dada artists was to express their thought against the First World War, against the traditional art, and against the bourgeoisie as well. They came to challenge the conventions of society and art as well and they believed in absolute nihilism. They did not see logic and causality as the tools for rational management of the world.
