From 1916 until the mid-1920s, artists in Zurich, Cologne, Hanover, Paris, and New York launched a radical assault on the politics, social values, and cultural conformity which they regarded as complicit in the devastating conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dada artists shared no distinct style but rather a common wish to upturn societal structures as much as artistic standards and to \u003cstrong\u003ereplace logic and reason with the absurd, chaotic, and unpredictable\u003c\/strong\u003e.
