Round 10: Tossup 12

The manifesto of a movement from this country declares “lock these corpses into their tombs” and vows to bring life to material rather than “falsify” it.

Another artist from this country created an alias of a cartoonish, large-eared mouse called Mr. DOB. That artist (10[1])from this country designed the cover of Kanye West’s Graduation (10[1])using his trademark “superflat” aesthetic.
