Plumilla EducativaLuis Miguel Potau De La MuelaDada and the artistic value of the workof art in the XX centuryDuring 20 th century, different Wars have involved most of the countries allaround the world. These Wars caused a recession in cultural, artistic, philosophicalcurrents and social movements, which in some aspects have originatednew ways to understand the Art. One of these creations, emerged after FirstWorld War, is Dada and its Conceptual Art, which has had an influence onthe artistic techniques but also on life and art conception for later creatives.They used everyday objects to create strange elements for the Art’s world,new technologies for cinema and photography and new materials to createart pieces that were very famous among dominant bourgeoisie at that time.Interwar period promoted the development of the so-called second vanguardthat influenced by the artistic trends previous the Big War and the 19 th centuryand also by contemporary thought currents, revolutionized the Art’s world.Dada is searching for intrinsic goodness of Human in view of the catharsisof the War by extravagant signs and rare ways for the society of its time.Dada does not mean anything, but it has a depth of knowledge and the intentionto persuade the bourgeoisie that this new Art conception truly have ameaning beyond that it shows. The result is bourgeoisie admiration withoutunderstanding, which was one of the purposes of Dada to demonstrate thatthe middle class is adapted to traditional and ultra-conservative parameters.The different reactions after Second World War with a Dada revival in U.S.during the fifties and the cultures and sub-cultures, like Opo At o the Punk,born from post-war economical crisis and after the sixties, show again theconceptualism in the world of Art and its self-sufficiency. The question is if thelack of artistic work could give some value to all these pieces. Since Dadaintention and depth is evident from 1945 and especially from the secondhalf of 20 th century, the lack of content in Conceptual Art differed and moveaway from Dada, which suggests the question if we can made an extractionof human knowledge from art pieces without any artistic value.Key words: 1914, Wars, Dada, It criticizes, Extravagant, Ready made,Artistic value, Work of art, Conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp, Extraction ofKnowledge, Human, XXI Century.La egolatría, individualismoEste siglo XXI fomenta entre otras contradiccionesla globalización y a la vez elindividualismo ególatra exacerbado, conla expresión desvirtuada de los sentidos ysentimientos, debido en parte, al no haberreflexionado de forma personal ni colectivasobre la herencia cultural y científica, debidoen gran parte a los hechos históricosacaecidos en el siglo XX. A la espera delo que suceda en los próximos diez añosy teniendo en cuenta que en la actualidadnos encontramos en plena crisis económicalo más fiable es que se desarrolleuna reacción de dimensiones autoritariasdemandada por la misma población. Elconjunto de los individuos que viven con unestilo de vida occidental exigen riqueza y unestado del bienestar para gastar, consumir,tirar y volver a gastar y en los momentos enque la economía flojea la falta de conocimientonos puede llevar a la subordinaciónbajo formas de pensar ultraconservadorasdebido al miedo y la lejanía al origen, denuestra propia esencia de lo humano.50 • Programa de Educación
