During World War I, many people around the world tried to ignore what was happening around them. The bloodshed, the poverty, the violence, people accepted the negative outcomes of the war. They became so accustomed to the state brought by the war; they didn't care about changing it. Both sides were now living in depression. The fight was affecting millions and millions of people who refused to defend themselves. Some artists, poets and writers could not understand why both sides involved in the bloodshed were not doing anything about it. Why sit and wait for it to be over? Why not stand up and take charge of what you can? These artists wanted to provoke the public's view of this war. These individuals became known as Dadaists. Because the Dadaists refused to label themselves, many artists took part in the movement. They were able to write, paint and create whatever they wanted, without being seen as a negative group. “A violently negative reaction was better than passive acceptance,” says Timothy Shipe of the University of Iowa, in The International Dada Archive, regarding the point of view of Dadaism. The Dadaists wanted to show the frustrations that most ignored. Their artwork made others ask questions and push boundaries. At that time many paintings were not allowed in museums. The writer's articles were not published in newspapers or magazines. The Dadaists had to create their own exhibitions and newspapers so that others could see their new point of view. World War I began in 1914 between Germany and, together, Great Britain and France. First, many people were celebrating. The men, excited to fight for their country, marched proudly into battle. The thought of defending their country brought many men to their d...... middle of paper....... These statements made it very clear that Dada was not going anywhere anytime soon. The Persuasion has many audiences. It might resemble the people who wanted to join the Dada movement. Dada World had cut out the faces of other Dadaists. Most were positioned over the dancers' bodies. This has led people to wonder if Dada men weren't so open to the idea of ​​women's rights. Hoch wouldn't have made them like that for no reason. Hoch also inserted herself into this section of the painting. Her photo is on the map, which contains all the countries where women were able to vote. The anti-Dadaist had a photo of German soldiers. The public, at that time, was afraid of the soldiers. The soldiers had developed a superior complex due to their efforts during the war. Those returning home thought they wanted anything and everything.
