Duchamp-isms
By Princeton University PressDescription
A collection of provocative quotations from one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
Duchamp-isms is a selection of illuminating quotations from Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), one of the most important figures in the history of modern art. A painter, sculptor, writer, and chess player, Duchamp changed the very definition of art with his ‘readymades’ - everyday objects such as a bicycle wheel or bottle rack that he titled, signed, and presented as art. He provoked critics and the public with works such as the Cubist-Futurist painting Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (1912) and Fountain (1917), a readymade composed of a men’s urinal signed ‘R. Mutt’. Prizing the intellectual over the aesthetic, Duchamp inspired later movements like Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Pop Art. Delightful and witty, Duchamp-isms offers rich insights into the mind of a true icon of modern art.
