Victorian DaDa

Information

DeVillo Sloan inspired me to start this group, and I'd like help defining it, and would love to see other examples besides my own.

This group is dedicated to mail art, perhaps with a time period theme (Pre-Raphaelite, Flapper, Byzantine, Edwardian, even modern day) of an elegant nature spiked with a Dada / Surreal twist.

Elements can be added as creatively as the artist would like.... Or taken out. Nature is prevalent due to the Romantic floral effect and poetry (often cut & paste) is incorporated. An arm or leg can be truncated and repositioned. Woo Hoo!

Or anything you feel like.

Thank you, and hope to see you here!

Xx.

Comment by carl baker on September 1, 2014 at 5:25am: welcome to dada headquarters

Comment by carl baker on August 14, 2014 at 2:37am: more victorian DA or whatever......

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 1, 2014 at 4:55pm: Wow An. U.! That is a great painting.

The image I used came from postcard photo - maybe 1920s.

Victorian DaDa - hard to say what it is. I think Much of Gin's pieces are more 1920s - like Great Gatsby Era.

Comment by An. U. on August 1, 2014 at 10:32am: Love them both, De Villo!

The one you've sent to Gin reminds me of painting by Latvian painter Julijs Feders.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 1, 2014 at 4:10am: Victorian DaDa collage I sent to Gin.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 1, 2014 at 4:00am: Holy crap, Carl, you're creating the whole Victorian DaDa Revival yourself. These pieces are great! I need to get down here more often.

Here's a piece Gin sent me not too long ago. Not sure if she ever plans on coming back.
