Origins and History

Dadaism, Surrealism, and Pop Art are three distinct important terms in the history of original contemporary Humor artworks. These movements represent significant periods of artistic innovation and experimentation, each with their own unique approaches to humor and satire. Dadaism, which emerged in the wake of World War I, sought to dismantle traditional artistic conventions and challenge societal norms through playful and absurd works. Surrealism, which developed in the 1920s and 1930s, explored the subconscious through dreamlike and fantastical imagery. Pop Art, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, used humor and irony to critique consumer culture and celebrate the banalities of everyday life.
