An art-history video on Dadaism and Surrealism got me thinking about how the two are taught.
One note: This is how they teach Dadaism in art school, even now.
Unless you're lucky like I was, and you get a professor who really loves it, and can identify you as a Dadaist, all you really get is...
"Yeah, they were angry or something, did some cool stuff or whatever... How about surrealism? Now that's interesting!"
And to be fair, surrealism actually is interesting, just for different reasons. But notice the dismissive tone when they do the switch over.
