Also known as Dadaism, Dada was a literary and artistic movement that began in 1916 in Zurich, Switzerland. It emerged as a rejection of rationalism and nationalism, which were seen as contributing factors to World War I. The movement had political undertones and was strongly anti-war. Dada activities included demonstrations, gatherings, and the publication of literary and art journals that explored cultural and political topics.

Attribute

Attribute can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to an object, symbol, or animal commonly associated with a specific person, often used in art to identify figures, such as a lion with St. Mark. As a verb, it means to assign a work of art to a particular artist, usually based on stylistic analysis or other evidence, such as attributing a painting to an artist based on its technique and composition.
