The movement Dada formed in 1914 in negative reaction to the First World War founded by Hugo Ball. Artists that followed the Dada movement aimed to destroy traditional values in art, and to replace the old art with the new (Dada is known as a major anti-art movement) . Dada has no specific characteristics as the purpose of this movement was to emotionally impact the viewer, usually to shock them.
The leading artists of this movement include Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and Kurt Schwitters.
