World War I significantly influenced the art movements of Dadaism and Surrealism, as artists sought to respond to the chaos and absurdity of the war. Dadaism emerged as a reaction against traditional values and societal norms, rejecting logic and embracing irrationality to critique the senselessness of conflict. Surrealism, which followed Dada, aimed to explore the unconscious mind and dream states, reflecting the psychological trauma and disillusionment caused by the war. Both movements challenged conventional artistic practices and sought to convey the disorientation of the post-war world.
