Manifestos

In his manifesto, Tzara writes about people being individuals and following their own "boomboom", that is their own drum beat so to speak. He expresses his belief in artist doing things in their own way and not what is the accepted norm. They area also encouraged to have their own opinions that go against the opinion of others. He views art as a private affair and the artist works are produced for themselves. When an artist puts their opinions and thoughts into an art work it becomes something private for the artist is expressing their personal thoughts.
Yoshihara's manifesto seems to focus on what abstract art should be. He states that artists have been using material in the wrong way as to not letting the materials present their own material self. Artist are using materials in a way they makes the an illusion by loading them with false significance and forcing them to take on the appearance of something else. He states that Gutai art doesn't change the material but brings it to life by connecting oneself with the materials to create an undiscovered world.
