Raoul Hausmann

"Dada Conquerors," Raoul Hausmann,  1920
This painting by Raoul Hausmann reflects the social conditions in which it is produced. The isolation in expressionist art suggests a sense of isolation felt by individuals in modern society. This picture reflects how man are portrait as regular man not this type of arrogant rich man. The word "dada" is supposed to be a nonsense word, a word with no meaning. Dadaism as an artistic movement is supposed to play up the meaninglessness and absurdity of life–key nihilist themes. I think the definition of dada contradicts the meaning that this picture has. The colors makes it more interesting and all the items reflects what every man like and are passionate about. Man are being played as regular individuals part of society.
