Dadaism and Cubism: Duchamp and Picasso
|
|
|
|
Since there is a minute similarity between cubism and dadaism, these
|
|
two movements are extremely different. As the former portrays an original
|
|
painting style, the latter humiliates art and its movements. One is art, the
|
|
other, anti-art.
|
|
|
|
Cubism is not an imitation of nature but an imposition upon nature of
|
|
geometrical forms derived from the human mind. Cezanne noted that natural
|
|
objects can be reduced to a geometrical form. Cubists perceived objects as
|
|
parts rather than a whole. They also saw the world simultaneously and
|
|
fragmentarily from many points of few than entirely from a single viewpoint.
|
|
Instead of approaching the creation of a three-dimensional painting, cubists
|
|
acted as architects to build their pictures on straight lines and corners,
|
|
which defined the planes of the surfaces. At the beginning, cubist colors were
|
|
neutral tones of gray, olive, and ochre. This was to create unity on the whole
|
|
entire painting rather than the subject of the painting, as depicted on
|
|
Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Cubist pictures tended to be cold,
|
|
impersonal studies in abstract design. However, such modifications of this
|
|
state as Picasso's Three Musicians began to appear. The flat, two-dimensional
|
|
order is kept, but the bright coloration gives the canvas a gaiety not found
|
|
earlier. The subjects show Picasso's interest in circus and theatrical
|
|
performances. The painting displays a more developed cubism during its time.
|
|
|
|
As cubism has shown originality, dadaism just reacted to the world by
|
|
"humiliating" art. Dadaism proposed life attitudes that coalesced into
|
|
understandable philosophies. This movement is called Dada, because the
|
|
nonsense vocable perfectly connoted its attitudes. As Tristan Tzara recalled,
|
|
"The beginnings of Dada were not the beginnings of art, but of disgust."
|
|
Dadaism wanted to destroy the hoaxes of reason and to discover an unreasoned
|
|
order." Marcel Duchamp was the principal pioneer of Dada. In a period when
|
|
painting had assumed deep conviction as a way of life, Duchamp gave it up in
|
|
the midst of success as "not a goal to fill an entire lifetime." Emerging
|
|
from the Cubist context of Parisian painting in 1912, he sacrificed paints,
|
|
brushes, and canvas almost entirely to create an anti-art of "Readymade"
|
|
objects or images. His analytic cubism paintings showed his attempts at
|
|
reduction rather than abstraction. Duchamp's Chocolate Grinder executed in oil
|
|
on canvas, but it differed from his earlier, more imaginative pictures in being
|
|
simply a dry perspective study of a real object. He was dissatisfied with his
|
|
image of the chocolate grinder for it was still too freighted with the baggage
|
|
of aesthetic convention that informs any three-dimensional illusion on a flat,
|
|
regular field. There seemed to be no escape from aesthetics within the
|
|
minimal conditions, or definition, of the art of painting to him. The
|
|
solution lay in taking the logical step from the replica of an object to the
|
|
object itself. Hence the origin by fiat of the Readymades: man-designed,
|
|
commercially produced utilitarian objects endowed with the status of anti-art
|
|
by Duchamp's selection and tilting of them. In 1913 he placed a bicycle wheel
|
|
upside down on a stool; singled out for contemplation in isolation from its
|
|
normal context and purpose, it seemed strangely enigmatic, especially when the
|
|
wheel turned pointlessly.
|
|
|
|
Obviously, these two movements can not really be actually contrasted
|
|
accurately. While cubism shows a style of painting, and dadaism an "attitude".
|
|
Cubism was rational, while dadaism irrational. Cubism designated a particular
|
|
painting style that already existed, when dadaism pre-existed the art to which
|
|
they were applied.
