Why is Marcel Duchamp important to art history?
- Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp has had an immense impact on twentieth-century and twenty first-century art; and he had a seminal influence on the development of conceptual art. By World War I, he had rejected the work of many of his fellow artists (such as Henri Matisse) as " retinal " art, intended only to please the eye.
Who is Henri Robert Duchamp?
- Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp (French: [maʁsɛl dyʃɑ̃]; – 2 October 1968) was a French-American painter, sculptor, chess player and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, conceptual art, and Dada, although he was careful about his use of the term Dada and was not directly associated with Dada groups.
What did Marcel Duchamp do with the Fontaine?
- Marcel Duchamp bought a urinal, signed it “Richard Mutt”, dubbed it the Fontaine and presented it as a work of art. He then sent it to a New York gallery, where it was rejected. The jury was not yet prepared to admit this provocative artwork.
Where is Duchamp's Etant donnes now?
- For over twenty years Duchamp labored in complete secrecy at his second masterwork, Etant donnes, an elaborate, sexualized diorama (the work is currently permanently installed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art). He shunned the public eye, preferring instead to play chess with select guests until his death in 1968.
