Synopsis
Best known for cheeky conceptual works,like his signed urinals ("R. Mutt") and his graffitioed Mona Lisa,Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was also an extraordinary painter and sculptor ( Nude Descending a Staircase ) who changed the language of twentieth-century art and reigns with Picasso and Matisse as one of its greatest influences. Joseph Masheck has compiled a sampler of the best writing on Duchamp, with pieces that include Duchamp's obituary from Artforum , written by Jasper Johns Octavio Paz on the ready-mades a Duchamp post-mortem by Hans Richter Donald Judd's investigation of Rrose Sélavy a "Counter-Avant-Garde" by Clement Greenberg a consideration by Guillaume Apollinaire and John Cage's "26 Statements on Marcel Duchamp." Illustrated with photographs of Duchamp's seminal pieces, and updated with a substantial preface that offers new scholarship as well as a fascinating consideration of why Duchamp's popularity has exponentially increased since this book first appeared, this is an essential volume for the Duchamp devotee.

"With such works as "Nude Descending a Staircase" (1912) and the urinal which he presented as the ready-made "Fountain" (1917), Marcel Duchamp extended modern art while pretending to destroy it. The result, as the contributors to this volume show, was a new way of thinking that blurred the traditional distinction between life and art, providing inspiration for a variety of groups ranging from Pop to Conceptual Art. In this illustrated volume, such contributors as Clement Greenberg, Thomas Hess, Max Kozloff, and Claude Levi-Strauss trace the positive and negative reactions to Duchamp and his works, from the early Cubist paintings through the "ready-mades" to the ironic and chance constructions of his later career. In analyzing the artist who dismissed his works by saying "Nothing was intended," this volume shows that Marcel Duchamp is truly one of the most significant figures of 20th-century art.".
