Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia
No Customer Reviews
Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia examines the work of three pioneering figures in the history of modernism, each of who raised questions that continue to reverberate through much of the art of today. Central to this examination is the artists' response to photography and film, and to the challenges posed to fine art by the development of mass production. Modernity, viewed with admiration laced with irony, provided a major impetus for the three artists in the early years of the twentieth century. Machines were treated as metaphors for inner drives; perception was explored as part of an expanded field of artistic enquiry; objects were created that challenged conventional definitions of art; and the pretensions of high art were lampooned. Above all, humour and eroticism were themes common to the work of all three artists.
