from the "Dada Manifesto" by Hugo Ball and 2) choose one of the
artists from either expressionism, dadaism, or new objectivity.
"Dada
Manifesto" by Hugo Ball
Quote for Dada
Manifesto. I found this on Wikipedia.
“Dada is the
heart of words”
For written assignments choose a specific piece of the text that
you want to quote. Write out the quote. Then interpret the quote, what is the
meaning of this quote, why is the author saying this? Then explain why you
chose this quote, do you agree or disagree? Did the quote make you think about
something or challenge you? Does it relate to anything going on in the present?
I believe that the quote “Dada is the heart of
words” is stating that in the pictures of art, Dada is simply the explanation
of nothing. It is then and there. The
word has no meaning. This is the same
concept as Nihilism. You see something and it has no bearing on anything.
Basically, the word is just a sound. It
just sound like something that isn’t really happening now. I chose this quote
because it was straightforward with what you can get with its definition in the
Manifesto. The sound is the heartbeat of this words and of many words. It is simply an example of just its’
appearance and sound. You are saying the
word, but you are saying nothing. I
don’t agree with the term because it still stamps an image of a mixed idea of
objects in the art. You can still
identify time, culture, and society’s interest in art. It makes me think of how
our street corners were designed to make us identify with where we live. There is supposed to be a consistency of
appearance in our society. Obviously, Nihilism with its word “dada” take on the
same point of view. It is like the
president’s speech on change. It means
nothing because our lives remain the same.
In terms of how I relate to it today in my life, I am still going look
the same, regardless of a portrait in time in my own eyes. I am still me.
The trauma of the war
however created an entirely new form
of artistic expression, known as Dadaism.
These picture are from your lecture
3) your
interpretation of the piece, try to describe in as much detail as you can the
physical appearance of the piece (how does it look, what kind of techniques are
being used, what kind of colors, light etc are used, what kind of actions are
going on) and the meaning of the piece what is it trying to say, what themes
does it address, especially paying attention to nihilistic themes.
Use the Modern Art Timeline link on the blog for assistance.
Choose three examples from one or more of the artists, and try to depict
what is going on in the piece, and what meaning it may have, especially drawing
attention to how nihilistic themes show up in these pieces or how it reflects
social conditions.
Professor For this assignment,
I have no link to this art you want to me write about.. Therefore, I am using
the art from lecture
. 
"Cut with the
Kitchen Knife through the Beer-Belly of the Weimar Republic," Hannah
Höch,
1919
I see nothing but images of animals, machine parts, people
thinking, and people looking like the way a dog might look at you. Not understanding anything. It is like you can’t take anything away from
it from the perspective of expressions.
November 1, 1889 – May 31, 1978) was a German Dada
artist. She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one
of the originators of photomontage
Raoul Hausmann, a member of the Berlin Dada
movement. Höch's involvement with the Berlin Dadaists began in earnest in 1919.
ABCD," Raoul Hausmann, 1923-2"4
In this image I see meaningless
numbers, hands, letters, currency, and face with letter clinging on painter’
teeth. It seems like there is an
expression of being consumed in crazy world of meaningless information in the
context of numbers and letters.
Wikipedia.
Raoul Hausmann (July 12, 1886 – February 1, 1971) was an
Austrian artist and writer. One of the key figures in Berlin Dada, his
experimental photographic collages, sound poetry and institutional critiques
would have a profound influence on the European Avant-Garde in the aftermath of
World War I.

"Adolf the Superman: Swallows Gold and Spouts Junk,"
John Heartfield, 1932
|
The wording of the portrait of Adolf
Hitler along with the picture itself saying that Hitler knew nothing on how to
make his cause mean anything. It was
nothing but garbage. There was no vision
because vision is not real. You just do
“dada”. Nonsense and with no purpose. Wealth was not anything of meaning. I
guess in terms of color, the picture is kind of gold in the sense that his
world appears in the color gold.
John Heartfield (born Helmut Herzfeld; 19 June
1891 – 26 April 1968) was an artist. He was a pioneer in the use of art as a
political weapon. Some of his photomontages were anti-Nazi and anti-fascist
statements. Heartfield also created book jackets for authors such as Upton
Sinclair, as well as stage sets for such noted playwrights as Bertolt Brecht
and Erwin Piscator.
In 1917,
Heartfield became a member of Berlin Club Dada, Heartfield later became active
in the Dada movement, helping to organize the Erste Internationale Dada-Messe
(First International Dada Fair) in Berlin in 1920. Dadaists were the young
lions of the German art scene, provocateurs who disrupted public art gatherings
and ridiculed the participants. They labeled traditional art trivial and
bourgeois
