after the 1st world war, you had the freedom to have almost anything war was over you weren't rationed.
it combined the machine age with the crafts (more mechanical)
empire state is more art deco


The music in the 1920s was swing and jazz all happy music for all the people who survived the first world war.
Technology was advancing and everyone was excited and getting on board with it.
Charabanc was a type of open top bus which was the alternative to the horse and cart.
Fashion had changed from long curved dressed to loosely fitted clothing that showed no figure and the long hair was gone it was cut to a bob. This was influenced in one way by the discovery of tu tu carmon and how the Egyptians dressed.
On one of the videos i have watched there is a gentleman measuring how much leg and arm woman had out at the beach, it wasn't acceptable to have too much skin out.

At the end of the 20s there was the wall street crash. Art deco lived through the rise and decline of the wealthy life style.

Dali and Dreamscapes

Dreamscapes are as the word suggests it is an image of someone's dream or their dream world, not all dreams make sense or are put together in the best way and dali is one who illustrates this very well.

This is a good example of dali's work as the main image is propped up.

Manifesto

What is a manifesto?
A manifesto is a statment which is published and made by a party/group of people of an individual stating their intention, motives or views.
It will accept either a previous published opinion or public consensus (which is a group desision making process) or it will promote a new idea and the changed which the party/group or individual believes should be made.

Surrealist manifesto
There were 2 surealist manifestos, the first was written by Breton and was then published in 1924. Editions du Sagittaire (a booklet).
"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_Manifesto
(1929) The second manifesto Breton asked surrealists to access their degree of moral competence. With this information he issued the second manifeste du surrealisme.
Surrealists who did not go by Baron, Densons, Boiffard, Michel Leiris, Raymond Queneau, Jacques Prevert and Andre Masson were no long apart of this. The surrealists who were loyal to Breton had signed their names on an insert of the manifestos release.

 Surrealism at the service of the revolution. This was after the second manifesto, by Andre Breton and his supporters. It was a more politically charged publication. The first one was published in 1930 and 5 more followed.

not what it looks like, so doesn't have to be pleasing to the eye

every day objects turning into something funny/different

its about the concept not the looks

Dada exquisite corps;
This is where artists would write a sentence or a line of words and fold the paper so that who ever next couldn't read it and would write their own sentence or few words. This would then create a body of txt which doesn't make sense, this was a parlour game just for fun. Later on artists would try to create poems. Then it got turned into a drawing using the same technique. 

Dada collage;


Duchamp has an alter ego Rrose selavy; 
The name Rrose is said like eros which is a greek god of sexual desire and attraction. So the name is a pun in its self.

The baroness - DaDa
Elsa von Freytag.
She was the face of DaDa.
She came up with the idea of the fountain by Duchamp.

 Duchamp's ready mades;

"Whether Mr Mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance. He CHOSE it. He took an ordinary article of life, and placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view – created a new thought for that object."
