DADA

I went to the first North American exhibit on Dada this weekend at the National Gallery of art. I really enjoyed it. More so than any other featured art exhibition I've been to, the labels on the walls and the organization was great. And as part of the Smithsonian system, it was free. It was set up into separate rooms of the major cities involved in the post WWI movement. I had no idea that there were artistic ideas of anti-elitism and pretention as early as 1915 in places like Zurich. Here is an abstraction of Francis Picabia's I enjoyed.
