Answer:

They were both developed in reaction to World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • While Dadaism which started around 1913, is a movement in which some artists rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, by displaying nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest in their works, and at the same time maintained political interest with the radical left.
  • Surrealism, on the other hand, was popular between 1920s and 1930s, and tried to access the subconsciousness of people and then translate this flow of thought into form of art.
  • Hence, Dadaism and Surrealism were both developed in reaction to World War I.
