- artists - Refers specifically to people who produce work in the visual arts. For those in the performing arts, see "performing artists."
- Dada - Refers to the European artistic and literary movement of violent revolt against the pretentions of Western civilization, begun in Zurich in 1916 as a reaction to World War I. The movement advocated the use of irony, nihilism, iconoclasm, the absurd, and emphasized the importance of chance in the creation of poems, performances, and artworks, which were typically commonplace objects set in an artistic setting. The name Dada was chosen by chance from the dictionary.
- German - Refers to the culture of the modern nation of Germany, or in general to the cultures that have occupied the area of the modern nation in central Europe. More broadly, it can refer to the cultures of the ancient groups of related peoples who inhabited central and northern Europe, and who spoke dialects from which the Germanic or Teutonic languages developed.
- portraits - Representations of real individuals that are intended to capture a known or supposed likeness. For representations of fictional or mythological characters, see "figures (representations)."
