Paper Summary:

This paper examines modern art's Dadaist movement of early twentieth century. It looks at parallel movements of its time, hand made art and decorative craft objects and the emergence of consumerism. This historical period surrounding World War II, had a wonder for technology in terms of machinery. The author defines the immense influence of the Dadaist on Art and society today.

From the Paper:

"We all know the story of how Marcel Duchamp took a urinal, called it "Fountain," put it in an art show and then defended his action on the grounds that as he was an artist and he said the urinal was art, then it was.
This is just the sort of thing that has given modern art a bad name. But why should it have? Why should that urinal not be art?"
