Dada art began in Zurich and advanced to an interational art form, or non-art. The main rule of Dada was that the artists were never to follow any known art rules. It was intended to provoke shock and outrage, during World War 1 and afterwards. Followers founded Dada to express outrage that the war occurred. Those who were moved to Zurich from France and Germany to safety in Switzerland were very angry that the war disrupted life and started "making art" to provoke an emotional reaction. Dada had no predominant medium. Things from geometric tapestries to glass to plaster and wooden reliefs were fair game. Making collages of ready-made objects was popular. Dada influenced future trends in art, including Constructivism and Surrealism. Dada ended when it was started to become "acceptable," as this ended the ideal of shocking the viewers.
