           Dada art was an art style that was creeated between world war 1 and world war 2. The art work sen above is called "Geopolitics child watching birth of new man" which was created by salvador dali in 1943. This painting is considered dad because it shows a deformed earth giving birth to man. We see a human like figure coming out of the earth which can symbolize the birth of man. We also see what looks like blood coming out at the bottom of the earth on a white blanket, this could symbolize how man is damaging earth.  the human outside of the earth can symbloize ho some human stand by has they see others damage earth. As you can see this is why this is called Dada art.
