Marcel Duchamp’s Fresh Widow was created in 1920, and is on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Fresh Widow is a bluish green miniature French window, which he constructed with wood and leather. The Fresh Widow is considered to be a part of the Dadaist period and retains qualities of dadaism in that it is a stand alone object, that has been completely stripped of its utility and function. In addition, across the window sill, Duchamp wrote “COPYRIGHT” in capitalized black letters referring

The Surrealist Movement World War 1 was a gruesome point in history that led to immense carnage and anguish of millions. However, on a happier note, this dark time was followed by movements such as Cubism, Precisionism, and Expressionism. Among these movements existed Surrealism, a movement that would not have come to be without the influence of “the war to end all wars”. During World War 1 at the city of Nantes one would find a man named André Breton (Sandrow). André Breton, born in 1896, is regarded

even music bringing back the past. For example Marcel Duchamp was an artist that had a huge impact on the 20th century. He believed art should affect the mind, much less the eye. He created the "Fountain," which wasn't object rather than a painting. Although the art piece was denied

Good Afternoon Ms Atkinson and fellow peers, as you can see, the texts I have chosen to discuss with you are To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Lullaby by W. H . Auden, all of which have modernist themes, including conforming to traditional gender roles, time and love.

Marcel Duchamp was born on July 28, 1887. His birthplace is Normandy, France, which is also where he was raised. Duchamp was one seven children. It is said that he “comes from a family of artists”. But ironically enough, his favorite childhood pastimes consisted of chess, reading, painting and playing music. Marcel created one of his earliest artworks at the age of fifteen and named it Landscape at Blainville

In 1917, Marcel Duchamp submitted a mass produced porcelain urinal, dubbed a readymade, into an art exhibition. Duchamp’s actions signaled a proto- postmodern concept while modernism was still prevailing the art world (Kuenzli, Naumann 65). Appropriation of mass produced products and media continued with Pop art of the 1960’s. In continuing this tradition, Richard Prince, whose employment at Time Life provided him with cut up articles and advertisements, began to blatantly appropriate photographs

expression. One in particular who has covered many different forms of expression is Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp truly embodied Leger’s ideals for an artist and constantly thought of new ways to express his feelings through his art and made the viewers think. While Duchamp’s early artwork was more traditional, his piece Nude descending a staircase, No. 2 truly started a change in his outlook and issued in a new era. French artist Marcel Duchamp created Nude descending a staircase, No. 2 in 1912. The

Artist have been making assemblages for many years. Materials and found objects can be used by an artist as vehicles of expression. The 1961 show “Art of Assemblages” responded to a time loaded with cultural transitions. In chapter two, Whiteley talks about the artists in the show and how they experimented with found pieces to give a new voice to seemingly unimportant and forgotten material. Assemblage art reflects on the short-lived nature of old objects. The original intent of an object is reimagined

I believe that Marcel Duchamp is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Coined by Duchamp, the term "readymades" came to designate mass-produced everyday objects taken out of their usual context and promoted to the status of artworks by the mere choice of the artist.
