Neo-Dada is an art movement that emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s, characterized by its rejection of traditional artistic values and its embrace of randomness and absurdity. It draws inspiration from the earlier Dada movement, which sought to challenge conventional aesthetics and societal norms. Neo-Dada artists often incorporated everyday objects and materials into their work, blurring the lines between art and life.
Key figures in the Neo-Dada movement include Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, who utilized techniques like collage and assemblage. Their works often featured a mix of painting, sculpture, and found objects, reflecting a playful and experimental approach to art. Neo-Dada paved the way for later movements, such as Pop Art.
