New Photography Series!

I also got a sweet new haircut (the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">faux</span> hawk is back!) so I broke out the lights and backdrop and shot this one above. I posted it on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">facebook</span> and an artist friend commented that it looks like Dada. Took me a minute before I realized he meant Dadaism, the art movement. It is reminiscent of Man Ray and I took it as a compliment! I wanted to brush up on what I knew about Dadaism so I googled it. I got completely inspired by well...nothing.<br /><br />This is from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">wikipedia</span>:<br />"Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zurich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">manifestos</span>, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">dada</span> was also anti-bourgeois and anarchist in nature." <div><br /></div><div>Then I started reading some quotes and was very entertained by their obsession with nothingness. I'd love to hang an entire show of these.</div><div><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563687917935595970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ3CJt8j08P1XoGhSLLntTsK9Y84P5-uEC6DXEjAKrQ2GTKuZo2KMy546K04kZ7tlH8Do9UKR1dad-lZ8S_D8dDSbayv-o0HAH5zOBF00mkliKeDWO2efZkyyCskRTjutgnc3EHNz60N8/s400/Duchamp+fine+art+photography+etsy.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66230260/contradiction-fine-art-photographic">Contradiction <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Prin</span></a>t $30</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563712819796886498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5c_Pg74qp6nqhIRcq7AUp6-1NIp-FTWc8uL6YvAlBLDVBnmr0qgU-NqOP7BYBODAiNUDThU1vZkNnmZSecCCKybPyWVWJet3FXF4t5Wa_ZQ8W3Lbvee6HE9mPW0KHQMzbLuPUOHlFCc/s400/Blur+Boundaries+fine+art+photography.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66230005/blur-boundries-fine-art-photographic?ref=v1_other_2">Blur the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Boundaries</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Prin</span></a>t $30</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAekqJtYvA3RT4VfRXJEKzK9XC4tASTPzM6o_MAFVMQXIjiyb8leX4W_ooUvvPjHEyH-JahlhrWkv_llw9EmIbh7POSBr4ZI8N0MVtYbsWGz9tKpmZ1VZ02kU0K5c3M81b3UaNR0Ztys/s1600/Art+is+dead+fine+art+photography.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563687905216393266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAekqJtYvA3RT4VfRXJEKzK9XC4tASTPzM6o_MAFVMQXIjiyb8leX4W_ooUvvPjHEyH-JahlhrWkv_llw9EmIbh7POSBr4ZI8N0MVtYbsWGz9tKpmZ1VZ02kU0K5c3M81b3UaNR0Ztys/s400/Art+is+dead+fine+art+photography.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66228549/art-is-dead-fine-art-photographic-print">Art is Dead Print</a> $30</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMjxIfeIu0Hn2UTizBcj9KlKW9gg4McHm6iqmt-2j5yuy7UDttAvtHiMNueJ3gNblyXkpQ6pcdjOHf7YyU7B3KtCW4eETMxge3CZS2fys-fAL83iE2HleuCEFQYES91Fr9F5BkMLp1Z-A/s1600/A+frothy+nothing+fine+art+photography.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563687903488234002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMjxIfeIu0Hn2UTizBcj9KlKW9gg4McHm6iqmt-2j5yuy7UDttAvtHiMNueJ3gNblyXkpQ6pcdjOHf7YyU7B3KtCW4eETMxge3CZS2fys-fAL83iE2HleuCEFQYES91Fr9F5BkMLp1Z-A/s400/A+frothy+nothing+fine+art+photography.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66229732/a-frothy-nothing-fine-art-photographic?ref=v1_other_1">A Frothy Nothing Print</a> $30</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; "><br /></span></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563687898321619874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNc070_PtJFZqsSUoATo9d9qxB_Z643qwzhbp_Ay8aDmPLsSMoiJzMoIAV6g8u3UkXW6WfG1_n39Pksr5ZflAQIRi91Fnhv-GYUiuNhvLhzL31gVJNYfQZxAQ_8o_jW9psOOutk_s3EtA/s400/Dada+collaged.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 185px;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11.1111px; ">They would look great framed and hung together in a series!</span></div></div>
