Dada Manifesto Tzara

Tristan Tzara born Samuel Rosenstock, was a Romanian and French avant-garde poet, essayist and performance artist. He was active as a journalist, playwright, art critic, composer and film director. He was best known for being one of the founders and central figures of the anti-establishmen Dada movement.

Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada was born in reaction to the horrors or World War I. The Origins of Dada are still unclear. 
In TRISTAN TZARA “Dada Manifesto 1918”, "The magic of a word—Dada—which has brought journalists to the gates of a world unforeseen, is of no importance to us."


He Explains; 
"Dada Means Nothing" 

The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature, poetry, art manifestoes, art theory,theatre, and graphic design. It concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the existing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Dada was also anti-bourgeois.
