Which art movement is known for its rejection of all traditional conventions?

The Dada movement is recognized for its radical rejection of established artistic conventions and norms, emerging in the early 20th century as a response to the horrors of World War I. Dada artists sought to challenge the traditional notions of beauty, rationality, and artistic creativity, which they viewed as complicit in the war's devastation. By embracing absurdity, randomness, and the nonsensical, Dada aimed to provoke thought and push the boundaries of art in ways that were previously unimagined.

Dada's emphasis on spontaneity and a playful approach to art led to innovative practices, such as collage, photomontage, and readymades—objects transformed into art by the artist's designation. This movement laid the groundwork for later avant-garde movements, demonstrating the power of art as a form of social commentary and rebellion against the status quo.

In contrast, Neoimpressionism, Romanticism, and Fauvism grew out of different artistic traditions and, while they challenged certain aspects of conventional art, they did not advocate for a wholesale rejection of tradition in the same way that Dada did. Neoimpressionism focused on color theory and optical effects, Romanticism emphasized emotion and nature, and Fauvism celebrated bold colors
