The symbolism and self-imaging of Marcel Duchamp

Abstract

dc:description

"Revered as ""the father of modern art,"" Marcel Duchamp's idea inspired many new art forms after the 1960s including Neo-Dada, Op, Pop, Mobile Sculpture, Junk Art, Assemblage, Body Art, Happening, and Conceptual Art. Given his profound influence on contemporary and subsequent artists, Duchamp's own work remains extremely elusive and germinates all kinds of readings. The reason perhaps is that Duchamp consistently refused to explain more directly and clearly the meanings and sources of his works and ideas."
