Art pieces 1919-1939


Mona Lisa, Marcel Duchamp(1919)
During the Dada movement Marcel Duchamp painted the Mona Lisa with a mustache. The Dada movement evolved as a protest against society and aimed to show mainstream values as meaningless in the context of World War 1


Max Ernst, Celebes(1921)
This art peice was inspired by the Dada movement. Max Ernst was considered to be one of the primary pioneers of the Dada movement. Dadaist works were meant to be meaningless and absurd.




The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali (1931)
This surrealist work shows watches and clocks melting away in a desert. Surrealism was an art movement that sought to link the world of dreams with real life. Surrealism was popular in this time period. This movement followed the Dada movement


Girl's Back (1926) by Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali is showing how the women's back looked in this time period. Women no longer wore restrictive clothing or hairstyles. Like in this art piece, women in this time period showed much more skin.
