I did some research prior to this project. I did research on three main categories: surrealism, dadaism and russian constuctivism.
Firstly for surrealism:
-it is an artistic and cultural movement that began in early 1920s
-best known for visual artworks and writings
-outlandish, perplexing and uncanny
-meant to jolt viewer out of their comforting assumptions, different from what we are used to
Next for dadaism:
-it is an art movement of european avant-garde in early 20th century
-nonsensical in nature
-first conceptual art movement where focus was on making works that generated difficult questions about society
-question role of artist and purpose of art
-“Dada is anti-dada”
Artist example include Hannah Hoch:
-a german artist
-best known for her work of Weimar period
-collaging diverse photographic elements to make art
Lastly for russian constructivism:
-it is an artistic movement
-artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia
-rejection of idea of autonomous art
-objects created to carry out a fundamental analysis of materials and forms of art
