Dada was an artistic and cultural movement between the years 1915-1923. Usually considered to have originated in
Zurich, the Dadaist movement and its loose network of artists spread across
Europe as well as into other countries, with
New York becoming the primary center of Dada in the
United States. The very word Dada is notoriously difficult to define and its origins are disputed, particularly amongst the Dadaists themselves.
