Marcel Duchamp
(born July 28, 1887 - died October 1, 1968)
French artist who broke down the boundaries between works of art and everyday objects. After the sensation caused by “Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2” (1912), he painted few other pictures. His irreverence for conventional aesthetic standards led him to devise his famous ready-mades and heralded an artistic revolution. Duchamp was friendly with the
Dadaists, and in the 1930s he helped to organize
Surrealist exhibitions. He became a U.S. citizen in 1955.
Happy birthday Marcel Duchamp. He would be 124 years old right?
