Magritte was not part of the Dada movement which sprung up in Europe as a result of the terrible tragedy of the First World War. The group adopted a nihilist attitude to everything including centuries old traditions of making art. Surrealism grew out of Dadaism. And Magritte was one this group who were intrigued by the way that the Dadaists were producing art based on irrational thoughts and unrestrained actions. Magritte and his paintings which were based on the unconscious and the world of dreams were linked to Dada in this way. But he was never part of the actual movement. Surrealism began in the mid 1920s; Dada
started in 1916 and petered out in the early 1920s. You can read about both movements at http://www.students.sbc.edu/evans06/presentation.htm
For Magritte's role in Surrealism scroll quite a long way down to the para starting "Rene Magritte altered the manner"

The Dada paintings circulate change into all about no longer some thing. The note Dada itself change into chosen to characterize this circulate because it has no meaning (with the exception of meaning "definite, definite" in Russian). Many believed the note to be chosen because this is often the first note an infant says. The Dada circulate change into anti-paintings and change into born out of the exestentialism that followed the horrors of the first international conflict, it chosen to oppose and overlook all previous paintings and re-outline what we evaluate paintings to be. This change into finished (or no longer as some may say) by ability of quite some approaches one such being "waiting made paintings" this is maximum famously verified by ability of Marcel Duchamps "fountain" which change right into a urinal positioned the different way up which Duchamp claimed to be a portrait "If I say this is a portrait, this is a portrait" as he suggested. Dadaism also embraced mistakes as paintings with the concept a mistake by ability of an artist is a organic function of creation, Jackson Pollocks drip technique verified this nicely. Dada change right into a rebel about the which technique of paintings being noble and highlighting the better, loftier fringe of humanity, as how can humanity be noble and lofty after what it did to itself in the course of the conflict. remarkable Dada artist are Hans Richter, Picabia, Arp and Schwitters.
