POST #20

In Art class, we are currently focusing of Dadaism. Dada is not a real art that has false artworks. This is a movement people created during World War I. This is an artwork created by a Dada artist, Marcel Duchamp. You may know this artist from his famous piece, the urinal. This artwork  is a piece of art that displays a man with two heads, one facing to the side and the other facing to the front, on one neck. This is a form of Dadaism because it is abnormal. It meets the qualifications of the Dada artwork. You would not walk in an art gallery and normally see a piece of a man with two heads, but only has one neck. This also relates to Dadaism because of the artist. Marcel Duchamp is famous Dada artist that created many abnormal artworks
