DADA is what fueled Hitlers dislike of certain form of artwork at the time that he was Himself an artist. His definition of what a degenerate artist spawned from his experiences. He couldn’t get past how some artwork was being hailed as genius while he had all but been thrown out of the artistic scene both educationally and politically. 1910-1920 set the scene for the rest of Europe.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 1:21 pmWhat is your definition of DADA? I assumed you meant dadaism but that wouldn't make sense in this context.Frau Holle wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 1:14 pmOk. That’s strange because it’s almost word for word and in the same order as the BBC article on it.Olioxenfree wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:01 pm
I didn't get my information from BBC,I got it from my grandfather,who is not British and has a masters in art history. It sounds dangerously close like you're saying the Nazi persecution of artists had nothing to do with the government's attempts to build animosity against the Jewish people.
I didn’t say that at all, however if you want a true understanding of Nazis and how Germany came to support them, you need to grasp the entirety of the situation which was not solely focused on Judiasm, but also had deep political, financial and cultural roots.
When it comes to DADA, there was a very specific goal, but to condense it down to simply anti-Judaism would be ignoring most of the other aspects of that specific situation within the art world.
To all of what was Prussia and touched it, WW1 and WW2 are not separate stories but a continual story.

Unbelievably, a watercolor painting.
