Duchamp's "Fountain"
source: http://www.beatmuseum.org
The idea of declaring everyday commodities as works of art came up in the early years of the 20th century. The artistic movement behind this idea is well-known as "Dada" and shaped our appreciation of art today. From 21st Feb till 26th May, the Tate Modern dedicates an exhibition to three very important Dada-artists: Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia.

First of all! I like a lot the new look of your blog! It's lovely! And second, I hope to manage to go there! I love the Dada movement, I consider it such a rebellion and innovative! I was recently in a Man Ray pics exhibition and I am still impressed! How much beauty in only one picture!
Thanks dear!
I hope to go there, too!
A few month ago I visited a photo-exhibition in Cologne and saw many great Man Ray pics, too! I love his work!
.... Duchamp is the man!
I merely started reading and I’m glad I did.
You’re an incredible blogger, among the very best that
I’ve seen. This weblog undoubtedly has some facts on topic which I just wasn’t mindful of.
Thank you for bringing this stuff to light.
