Summary/Abstract: Dadaism is perhaps the most famous artistic movement that was initiated by Romanians. Originating in Moldova, Tristan Tzara brings his creative vision to all of Europe, a vision that would afterwards cross the Atlantic Ocean. The force of this artistic movement determined many of its representatives to believe, even for a brief period, that the deconstruction and rebuilding of the world we live in is possible. Dadaism still has an impact on a great number of artists, and it is most influential at the level of ideas and creative modes. Its vision is perpetuated in every artist that attempts to reinvent their style as well as in contemporary society when confronted with new and shocking artistic events.
