The French avant-garde kept abreast of Dada activities in Zurich with regular communications from Tristan Tzara ( whose pseudonym means " sad in country ," a name chosen to protest the treatment of Jews in his native Romania ), who exchanged letters, poems, and magazines with Guillaume Apollinaire, André Breton, Max Jacob, Clément Pansaers, and other French writers, critics and artists.

Dada () or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early twentieth century.

To quote Dona Budd's The Language of Art Knowledge, Dada was born out of negative reaction to the horrors of World War I.

Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality and intuition.

The origin of the name Dada is unclear ; some believe that it is a nonsensical word.

In addition to being anti-war, Dada was also anti-bourgeois and had political affinities with the radical left.

Dada is the groundwork to abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to postmodernism, an influence on pop art, a celebration of antiart to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960s and the movement that lay the foundation for Surrealism.

Dada was an informal international movement, with participants in Europe and North America.

The beginnings of Dada correspond to the outbreak of World War I.

According to Hans Richter, Dada was not art, it was " anti-art.

" Everything for which art stood, Dada represented the opposite.

Where art was concerned with traditional aesthetics, Dada ignored aesthetics.

If art was to appeal to sensibilities, Dada was intended to offend.

A reviewer from the American Art News stated at the time that " Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man.

" Art historians have described Dada as being, in large part, a " reaction to what many of these artists saw as nothing more than an insane spectacle of collective homicide.

Some sources state that Dada coalesced on October 6 at the Cabaret Voltaire.

Other sources state that Dada did not originate fully in a Zurich literary salon but grew out of an already vibrant artistic tradition in Eastern Europe, particularly Romania, that transposed to Switzerland when a group of Jewish modernist artists ( Tzara, Marcel & Iuliu Iancu, Arthur Segal, and others ) settled in Zurich.

In 1917, Tzara wrote a second Dada manifesto considered one of the most important Dada writings, which was published in 1918.

Tzara began a relentless campaign to spread Dada ideas.

He bombarded French and Italian artists and writers with letters, and soon emerged as the Dada leader and master strategist.

Zurich Dada, with Tzara at the helm, published the art and literature review Dada beginning in July 1917, with five editions from Zurich and the final two from Paris.

In February 1918, Huelsenbeck gave his first Dada speech in Berlin, and produced a Dada manifesto later in the year.
