The term 'Surrealism Precursor' refers to the art movement of DADA, which was a European avant-garde movement that began in Zurich, Switzerland in 1916. It was a reaction to the horrors of World War I and sought to challenge traditional values and conventions. DADA was an anti-art movement that used absurdist techniques such as collage, photomontage, and readymades to create works of art. The movement had a major influence on Surrealism, which emerged in the 1920s.
