duchamp

The worst GUIs are like the baby that would result if Dali and Duchamp copulated in a live action Candyland game.

It's just funny to me because it shows the author's lack of understanding of the Duchamp piece or why it was interesting at all.

If Rothko or Duchamp cause confusion, I think the fault lies with preconception of art.

Warhol was influenced by them (and Duchamp in general), but he didn't call his work by that term, regardless of similarities in method or concept.

There's actually an interesting theory that Duchamp fabricated his Readymades.

Marcel Duchamp spent how long making his fountain?

Readymades were a Duchamp thing completely.

(Marcel Duchamp is all over this.) And to the extent that this division exists, they can combine in a cumulative way; great representation with great content.

There's some controversy over that, as some of these Found Objects aren't so commonplace, but have key differences in them, to make them more aesthetically pleasing - they may be actually one-ofs, that only look like something commonplace and mass-produced, giving Duchamp the last laugh.

And Duchamp was quite articulate in thumbing his nose at the establishment and the notion of the object ("because fuck you").

Marcel Duchamp for his consideration that "art" is something socially constructed i.e.

A more relevant question is "is it supposed to?" Is the standard of Duchamp the only or highest standard by which we assign artistic value?

Is also the "monna-lissa with moustache" from Duchamp, the picasso's versions of velazquez paintings, and the impresionists showing his pictures in the "salon des refusees".

It's similar, but different - Duchamp, as the story goes, would just buy the object and call it art.

I feel the same way, despite being a fan of Dadaism and Marcel Duchamp.

To give another example, in my opinion Duchamp's readymades were a genius piece of artistic trolling, great thought-provoking statements on aesthetics and the nature of art.
