| The Virgin #1, Marcel Duchmap, 1916 |
This was the first "schematic" that led to the never quite finished large glass work by Marcel Duchamp, The Bride Stripped Bare BY Her Bachelors, Even. I am giving you a link top the best Duchampian essay I have ever read on line. The piece, Fasten Your Seatbelts As We Prepare For Our Nude Descending by author, Edward D. Powers, gives a fairly concise history of the development of Duchamp's intellectual deconstruction of the idea of Art over the course of his entire life. I enjoyed it immensely and will be going back to it again and again.
...Duchamp is an even more anti-historic being than I. -- Salvador Dalí
...whether you're anti or for, it's two sides of the same thing.
And I would like to be completely... nonexistent. -- Marcel Duchamp
