Welcome to Gendered Dada Morgan Drawdy Faculty mentor: Katherine Anania Georgia College & State University
This paper explores the works of art throughout the Dada art period from three specific artists: Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, and Baroness Else Von Freytag-Loringhoven. It delves deep into the making of the pieces and the influences behind them. The pieces are analyzed through the lens of gender and gender bias that is caused by the changing of societal roles during World War One, touching on topics such as women entering the work force and the evolution and devolution of the typical masculine role throughout history. The paper is brought together to explore how these societal changes influenced works of art through this specific artistic period.
