Vorticism was a short-lived early 20th century modernist movement in Britain that was inspired by Cubism. Key figures included David Bomberg and Wyndham Lewis. Vorticism featured abstract, geometric styles. Dada was an anti-war, anti-bourgeois art movement that began in Zurich during World War I. Key figures included Tristan Tzara, Jean Arp, and Marcel Duchamp. Dadaism used techniques like cut-up words, chance operations, and found objects to subvert traditional artistic conventions. Marcel Duchamp pioneered the concept of the "readymade" artwork by selecting mundane mass-produced objects and designating them as art.

8. Tristan Tzara, How to Make a Dadaist Poem
• Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and put
them all in a bag.
Shake gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the other.
Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.
The poem will resemble you.
And there you are--an infinitely original author of charming sensibility,
even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd

28. • "Whether Mr. Mutt with his own hands made the
fountain or not has no importance. He chose it. He took
an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful
significance disappeared under a new title and point of
view -- he created a new thought for the object.“

29. Marcel Duchamp
• Readymades
• “Concept, not retina”
• “The viewer completes
the work of art.”
