Expressionism, Dadaism, New Objectivity

Dada Manifesto
     Hugo Ball


" How does one achieve eternal bliss? By saying dada. How does one become famous? By saying dada. With a noble gesture and delicate propriety. Till one goes crazy. Till one loses consciousness. how can one get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, Europeanized, enervated? By saying Dada"


It seem as if such word (Dada) that had no meaning to some but that was still a word in the dictionary had made such impact in the 19th century. Especially because it was the beginning of World War I, it was one of the best way to show society that true about what was going on in their world. Making people see the ugly side of the real world. Maybe it was the best way to show people what our world was going threw and it probably was the best way because it was a way to caught people eye, their attention. Make them see and think. It was time to show the dark side in an weird but then yet convincing way.

"The peace treaty that ended the war, the Treaty Of Versailles, made it a requirement that Germany had to accept full responsibility for the war, could not produce things for military use, and to pay off the war debts of the other nations".


This quote has a lot to say about Germany, its really stating who was responsible for the horrible, disaster and cruelty of World War I. There are no dough's that Germany was the main reason why so many people die, not only Jewish people but many people from all over the world trying to stop this man from destroying the world. Then again lets not say Germany, because there were many people who didn't agree with his believe however the way it work with him, was either you was with him or against him. The author is saying this because it was the most devastating situation that could of happen to Germany. After this agreement was establish Germany lost everything to such a point that their money was no longer valuable. Their debt was incredibly high, they prices increases and the yet their money was better of burn to stay warm then to purchase anything.  The reason why I choice this quote was because to me it was amazing how much damage one man believe can do to the world, also because I believe the best way to destroy a man believe is by taking away all this power. And this agreement was exactly what had done to Hitler, his country was extremely poor, he no longer had an army and couldn't produce military equipment.

"If We Could Undo Psychosis I" Jane Kelly, 2000


Jane Kelly was born May 7, 1956 in Charlton, London. She graduated from Stirling university, in history and fine arts in 1978. She is a journalist and artist, in 1995 she when for Advance Diploma In Painting. Her painting has made controversy in which have made her career not bad, but not so great. The painting " IF WE COULD UNDO PSYCHOSIS 2" about Serial killer Myra Hindley got her dismissed from Daily Mail. The painting didn't seem to be a good idea for many people. She has been to many Arts Gallery, in London and see herself as a Holocaust Painter. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and decided to have a blog about her health. 






It ironic how she paints Hitler in front of the Paris tower, because France was one of the nation effect by Hitler cruel vision against the Jewish, that created the Holocaust. To me the painting look like Hitler is loving the fact that his in Paris maybe enjoying the moment at this beautiful place, however that was never the case. Hitler didn't really like anybody, he was one of the most back stabbing person in the world. He would have an alliance with another nation for example Russia, have a great beginning with the nation and then at the end he will betray them. He was never looking out for anybody else other then himself. And this quote that make me think what if Hitler would off never had that crazy idea that because of the Jewish they had bankruptcy. what if he would off been a "NORMAL" man like any other, then who would off done the disaster and horrifying things he did to all those people, because no matter how bad we would like our world to be just good there will also be bad. so if Hitler would off never been the bad guy then who would off taken his place.  Because to me that is what she trying to say, what if his psychosis was undone, how will this world be right now. Better or worst.
