Outrageous anti-art movement founded in Europe in the early 20th century. Centred around Zurich and Paris, its luminaries included Tristan Tzara and Francis Picabia. Dedicated to incoherence, the dadaists produced some choice quotes, which I must dig up and submit for the Everything Quote Server. The style of typography associated with dada is much imitated, but otherwise this short-lived group has had most influence through its offshoots, notably the Surrealist movement, founded by André Breton.
