Dada emerged as a direct response to the disillusionment and chaos of World War I, rejecting traditional artistic and societal norms.

Dada artists employed absurdity, nonsense, and anti-art strategies to critique war, nationalism, and bourgeois culture, ultimately laying the groundwork for future avant-garde movements.
