Duchamp: Great Modern Masters by Marcel Duchamp (9780810946781)

Description - Duchamp: Great Modern Masters by Marcel Duchamp

Focusing on Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), this is one of a series of illustrated monographs which offer introductions to modern art and artists. Each book presents a profile of the artist and analysis of his distinctive style. Duchamp pushed the limits of art as it had been previously understood, in order to create forms that were ironic and often enigmatic. Associated early in his career with Cubism, Surrealism and Dadaism, he intended his work to involve the viewer in unconventional and - for his time - often shocking ways. The book traces his development as both an artist and a thinker.
