moma ( Magritte vs Dada ) we are family

Leopoldo liriano 

         My visit to the MoMa to see Rene Magritte art printings and watching the video on DaDa art was very  amusing. It showed me that both art aren't that much different in the meaning and that both art have similar characteristics that impacted their city during the time of birth. In fact, both are the same because both displays ideas of their society through different images.

         Magritte art was very interesting, his ideas was to show the art has a picture, and that art doesn't need meaning. So like that people could relate to it in many different ways. Magritte paintings of objects placed out of their usual context is related to that of DaDa. Dada was also a art that show no meaning in the art , but it did have entertainment and humor in it. Dada wasn't just of one person they were many loosely-knit group, like writers and artists that used any public forum they could find to talk on nationalism, rationalism, materialism. it's crazy how for both these movements, meant nothing and still impacted the people in the 1900's the way it did. The twain of these art introduced the meaning for nothings to their cities.

 Magritte and Dada both used objects in their prints and always eliminated the true meaning of the objects and put another piece from a different object together to make art. Both artist used oil paint to create the work of art. in Magritte art he used a man and a apple, he replaced the mans face with the apple to recreate new meaning. in the picture of Dada they also removed oicture to create the picture, but the only thing is that in Dada they use more words. 

       Has you can see there is not much of a difference between Magritte and Dada because both separate piece from an object to put it in another project.
