Today I begin my look at the What-If… [X Art Style] Artists Created Ultraman & Kamen Rider Kaiju. Dadaism, in its visual static works, is typified by collages, and a cut up style of piecing together photos and other works. I could have been more specific in my prompts but, as before, I wanted to keep the same prompt to get a baseline as to what DALL-E could do. This one was a disappointment for me, as I was hoping for something using the more accepted Dada style, but I do appreciate the inclusion of the typography which is also a hallmark of the movement.
Dada (/ˈdɑːdɑː/) or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century, with early centers in Zürich, Switzerland, at the Cabaret Voltaire (c. 1916). New York Dada began c. 1915, and after 1920 Dada flourished in Paris. Dadaist activities lasted until the mid 1920s.
Developed in reaction to World War I, the Dada movement consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest in their works. The art of the movement spanned visual, literary, and sound media, including collage, sound poetry, cut-up writing, and sculpture. Dadaist artists expressed their discontent toward violence, war, and nationalism, and maintained political affinities with radical left-wing and far-left politics.

So, after decades of enjoying visual art and dabbling in it, I wanted to learn more about this form of expression that I love. Not having the money, or desire to learn things I didn’t wish to get into, re. prerequisites, I have taken it upon myself to seek out knowledge. As I move along my art history journey, I realize that what I am gaining is only a rudimentary understanding, but I am enjoying delving into people and styles that I would have never given a second thought about before. One of the fun things about my studies have been that what I am learning is creeping into my art.
