Dada, or Dadaism, was an art movement that began in Switzerland during World War I. The movement was a reaction to the war's horrors and a protest against social norms. Dada art was often satirical and nonsensical, and its goal was to shock, confuse, or outrage people. Dada inspired later movements, such as Surrealism, nouveau réalisme, pop art, and Fluxus. Examples of Dada art include: Bicycle Wheel, Marchel Duchamp, 1913. The Fountain, Marcel Duchamp, 1917. L.H.O.O.Q., Marchel Duchamp, 1919. Le Violon d’Ingres, Man Ray, 1924. Examples of Surrealism art include: The Lovers, René Magritte, 1928. The Treachery of Images, René Magritte, 1928. The False Mirror, René Magritte, 1929. The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dalí, 1932. Lobster Telephone, Salvador Dalí, 1936. Object, Meret Oppenheim, 1936.
