ARP ART is a term used to describe a type of art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It stands for 'anti-rationalism, primitivism, and irrationality' and was a reaction against the rationalism of the DADA movement. DADA is an acronym for 'Dadaism', which was a European avant-garde art movement that began in Zurich, Switzerland in 1916. The movement was characterized by its rejection of traditional values and its embrace of chaos and irrationality.
