The Dada Art Genre Draws Us All In

In the last few days, I have found myself again with a rather intense interest in the somewhat brash brand of art known as Dada. In its nihilist way, this early 20th Century movement kidded traditional art that was around then. Artists like the legendary Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia produced some fiery so colorful and sleekly bizarre works. Picabia's clever, hardnosed passionate work is particularly full of delicious esthetic mystery. Picabia work of the period of the early 1920s is quite fascinating. If one studies the boldness of the Dada genre, then one can recognize the fact that Dada was obviously a huge influence on other powerfully mysterious artistic conceptual mindsets like that of Pop Art. Duchamp and Picabia were quite innovative. Also, an interesting dimension to the mind of Duchamp is that he was quite into the playing of chess.
