Who was Raphael
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.
Following his death, Raphael's movement toward Mannerism influenced painting styles in Italy’s advancing Baroque period. Celebrated for the balanced and harmonious compositions of his "Madonnas," portraits, frescoes and architecture, Raphael continues to be widely regarded as the leading artistic figure of Italian High Renaissance classicism.

Highly romatised.
The name Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood referred to the groups’ opposition to the Royal Academy’s promotion of the Renaissance master Raphael. They were also in revolt also against the triviality of the immensely popular genre painting of time.Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, who urged artists to ‘go to nature’, they believed in an art of serious subjects treated with maximum realism. Their principal themes were initially religious, but they also used subjects from literature and poetry, particularly those dealing with love and death. They also explored modern social problems.

Exquisite corpse
"Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." ("The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.")[
The technique was invented by surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but Pierre Reverdy wrote that it started much earlier, at least before 1918
Kurt Schwitters
German painter, sculptor, typographer and writer. using rubbish materials such as labels, bus tickets and bits of broken wood in his collages and constructions
Raoul Hausmann
German Dada artist, poet, photographer and polemicist. Born in Vienna, son of an academic painter who gave him lessons in painting.
The World War I Pamphlet Collection developed from two sources. The Greensboro Public Library donated a selection of pamphlets that were added to the Library’s holdings of United States government publications of that period and topic. While the assembled collection spans the entire war, the publications date from 1912 - 1931 with the bulk of the materials concentrated from 1914 - 1919. The collection was processed and cataloged during 2001-2002.

Many of the Dada artists such as Ernst, Arp, Picabia and Miró were attracted to surrealism because of its interest in poetry or in its anarchic and unconventional approach and all of them provided illustrations for Littérature. As Arp explained, ‘I exhibited along with the surrealists because their rebellious attitude towards “art” and their direct attitude towards life were as wise as Dada.
Surrealism was a movement born out of the remains of madness and terror. After the Great War, the writings of an obscure psychologist in Vienna, Sigmund Freud suddenly seemed relevant
The French poet, André Brenton, is known as the “Pope of Surrealism.” Brenton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto to describe how he wanted to combine the conscious and subconscious into a new “absolute reality” (de la Croix 708). He first used the word surrealism to describe work found to be a “fusion of elements of fantasy with elements of the modern world to form a kind of superior reality.” He also described it as “spontaneous writing” (Surrealism 4166-67).

Famous religious artefacts and relics
What is a relic?
In religion, a relic usually consists of the physical remains of a saint or the personal effects
of the saint or venerated person preserved for purposes of veneration as a tangible memorial. Relics are an important aspect of some forms of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Shamanism, and many other religions. nkisi power
A history of Fetish figures;
The object is from the Congo in central Africa; it was accessioned in to the collection in 1913 but was probably made sometime during the 1800's.Although such objects are frequently called 'fetish' figures, referring to the fact that they were believed to have magical powers or that excessive devotion was paid to them, this is an entirely European term and evolved from a condescending misinterpretation of African civilisation.

These were some of the ones i found:
Some of the Fetish figures would have nails driving into them.This was believed to be a sigh of punishment for those a who would want to sin.
Soen of the models would have no meaning and would maybe be used in rituals.
Some would have bits of glass of other things.
