1. Compare and contrast the Surrealist movement with Dada. How were the two related? Why did the Surrealists leave Dada? What interests did they have that were different from those of Dada? When making this comparison, DON’T use the work of Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali. Select different artists, and keep in mind that both movements involved quite a bit of performance and performativity. You might want to look at their manifestos. Andre Breton and Tristan Tzara both wrote manifestos that are available online.
