    		Da da ; si si. It was one of their "dadas". Yet it should be noted that the surrealist wing of dada(André Breton) was more in favour of the "objet trouvé" than
    e.g. Marcel Duchamp himself who preferred the ready-made.
    The "objet trouvé" was selected for aesthetic reasons, was not mass produced. Duchamp's "urinoir"- a ready-made - was not selected for any special charm it might have had.

    As light intensity decreases, red objects are perceived to fade faster than blue objects of similar brightness. What term is given to describe this optical phenomena?

    Do real artists line up the objects to be painted by putting up the thumb of their outstretched arm, and if so, why?

    A royal possession described in a great epic, this object gave its name to something found at a famous site by an equally famed archaeologist. However, yet another, rather less ostentatious item also bears the name, owing to an inscription that represents one of the oldest known written examples of its language. What are the two objects, where was each found, and what does that inscription say?
