It was one of the many backhanded 'tributes' to renowned artists that the Dadaists loved to shock the establishment with.

5. With what name did Marcel Duchamp sign his 'Fountain'?

Answer: R. Mutt

'Fountain' in fact was a urinal(!), one of his 'Readymades' and no doubt the most controversial of the lot! Marcel loved to shock the old fogies of art.

Answer: Man Ray

A renowned photographer was well as painter, Man Ray made 'The Gift', the nail-studded iron, as one of many Dadaistic art objects.

Jean Arp made those wooden wall assemblages purely by chance manipulations.

8. What artist is best known for the construction of a weird doll which can be manipulated into strange contortions?

Answer: Bellmer

Hans Bellmer made the doll whose body parts could be switched to other positions: the legs where the head should be, etc. (He was a very disturbed man!)

Answer: Ernst

Ernst also made nightmarish collages among other works.

10. Name the filmmaker who doesn't belong here because he worked in a different artistic genre than the others.

Clair's 'Entr'acte' was sheer Dada, Bunuel's collaborations with Dali, while primarily Surrealist, had some of the Dada spirit, and the later film fantasies of Cocteau were inspired by Dada.
