Slide Set: MARCEL DUCHAMP (1887-1968, FRANCE) I: PAINTING
By 1912, Marcel Duchamp had rapidly gone through Impressionist, Fauvist and Expressionist phases in his painting. He settled on a style which was a combination of Cubism and Futurism. This style is epitomized by his works entitle "Nude Descending a Staircase". The second version under that title, painted 1912, was a huge success at the 1913 Armory Show in New York City. Duchamp settled in New York City after that, and met the French painter Francis Picabia in 1915, who was also painting in a cubism-derived style. Their shared ideas about the nature of art, what constituted subject matter, and the tyranny of what were considered "aesthetics", plus their loathing of World War I led to the Dada movement (1915-22). Duchamp and the Dadists believed that the logic and reason which led to World War I had no place in art. Dada was thus art which was based primarily on the irrational, a rebellion against what was commonly considered to be art. By 1922, many artists felt that Dada had become academic and institutionalized. Surrealism was the next logical step--a movement which, like Dada, stressed the superior nature of dreams rather than "rational" forms of inspiration for art. Surrealism was art which was created without moral or aesthetic preoccupations, and with the absence of all control by reason. Duchamp worked leisurely between 1915-23 on "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors Even", painted on glass with pieces of painted, cut-out tin applied. After that he did not paint again, preferring to concentrate on his "ready-mades". Ready-mades were ordinary objects elevated to the level of fine art. The principle behind them was that creation of a work of art need not be limited to manual dexterity, but may stem from the imagination and vision of the artist. Although he had given up painting in 1924, Duchamp exerted strong influence on Surrealist painters and on other trends in contemporary art, particularly the Pop Art of the 1960s.
