    Marcel DuChamp, Beatrice Wood & one other I can't remember began The DaDa Movement. Beatrice Wood lived to be over a 100 yrs old. She was a renowned ceramist, loved Trader Joe chocolates & young men. She wore saris with tons of silver jewelery. I met her in the mid-90s in Ojai, CA. Her studio is still there & worth the visit! Fascinating woman!!

    If the artist calls it art, then its art. No exceptions. Thanks for pushing the boundaries Marcel. One of the most important artists ever. RIP Rrose Selavy

      Ok, and why do they think is art? You say something is art because you identify it as art, not the other way around. Not because you say something is something then suddendly it transforms into it.

    Nude Descending A Staircase is a fascinating painting to look at. This story reminds me that art takes many different forms.

    She's a mother of three. How many is *he* a father of?
    In other words, why was her motherhood status relevant to recounting her résumé in this piece, but not his fatherhood status? I'm sure it wasn't meant to be nefarious, but why do we maintain this weird double standard in 2022?

    many years ago, when i was 19 i found a sculpture signed M. Duchamp and dated 1904 - when Duchamp was only 16. It even has a sticker on it from the school he was at in 1904 - Ecole Bossuet [i think]. it was a long time ago. I got to bring it to Philadelphia where i met Teeny Duchamp, Anne d'Harnencort [?], and Pontus Hulton who had just flown in from Paris. I'm pretty sure it's an interesting fake, but how many 19 yr olds got that experience? i'm blessed.

    It’s a critique of the art market. It’s the emperor’s new clothes. It wasn’t meant to be “world changing”. But when there’s money to be made anything is everything unless you got no money then nothing is everything

    I think the museum show is more about the Levines than it is about Duchamp. As a traditional artist, I admit my prejudice, but seriously, even Duchamp put the urinal in a show as a goof, a statement that anything can be "art" if it's put on a pedestal. Incidentally, this urinal isn't the original. That was stolen, and replaced, I think more than once..

    What may appear as vandalism on first blush
    Becomes creative inference with the intention

  • @henrylivingstone2971
    @henrylivingstone2971 2 года назад

    DuChamp was having a go at the art market and criticizing the rise of what constitutes “art”, the Levine’s recognize this nonsensical interpretation of self expression but what’s messed up is that the art market ate it all up and considers it art. They didn’t understand satire at the time and I’m sure they recognize it now but aren’t willing to part with the money it produces.

    Readymade = Dada and Surrealist definition by context and research done by Cheyla Bazan = human design particularly within the context of an or to emphasize "the" object itself. In other words, it can be ambiguous but within the movement itself, it refers to object made ready to be used. In essence Lolitas.
    Toilet readymade symbolizes = 9 = 6 (69)(Gemini energy) Ref> Amanamonesia - Chairlift ; also urinal in shape of penis = male urinal therefore male peninsula pissing on readymades which means most males disregarding women.
    I respect Duchamp in ways I can't explain or comprehend because if it weren't for his art I wouldn't be able to understand the minds, or mentality and perception of men, therefore allowing me to understand the male energy and how it itself is programmed and created. As well as understand how and what they think which makes it easy to identify who's who too.
    Most of his work consisted of readymades and so much symbolism of the destruction of the opposite sex, much of which is very degrading to the 'bride' which is to assume is the opposite sex if not the vulnerable as seen in 'The bride being stripped by her Bachelorettes". The production itself is questionable and makes no sense as to why it's regarded as art but it's the message and the movement itself that speaks value.

      Sooooo... without seeing signed urinals, wheels bolted to stools and a cracked window pane you wouldn't be able to understand men as a whole? get a grip and grow up.
