An artist, writer, or performer who participated in or supported the Dada movement, creating absurdist works that rejected conventional artistic standards.
From 'Dada' plus the suffix '-ist' meaning a follower or practitioner of a movement or philosophy.
Famous Dadaists like Hugo Ball performed in absurd costumes while making incomprehensible sounds, and Marcel Duchamp signed a urinal as art—these weren't jokes gone too far, but serious statements against the rationality that had led to millions dying in trenches.
