Download or read book The Adventures of Munich in Marcel Duchamp written by Roman Muradov and published by . This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1912, Marcel Duchamp took a train to Munich and stayed there for three months. Very little direct knowledge remains about that trip. Immediately afterward, Duchamp gave up on painting and later in his life referred to Munich as the site of his 'complete liberation.' Roman Muradov's highly unreliable narrator attempts to reconstruct this period, interrogating from different angles the fundamental futility of retelling another person's life. The result is a fabulist satire that questions Duchamp's legacy, his silence and sexuality, and the sources of the work that made him famous. At once meticulously researched and wildly irreverent, The Adventures of Munich in Marcel Duchamp is an anti-biography worthy of the great trickster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and expanded edition of one of the most original books ever written on the enigmatic artist Marcel Duchamp. Genius, anti-artist, charlatan, guru, impostor? Since he arrived on the scene in 1914, Marcel Duchamp has been called all of these. Almost no other artist of the twentieth century has inspired more passion and controversy, nor exerted a greater influence on art. At the same time, Duchamp continually challenged the very nature of art and strove to redefine it as conceptual rather than as product by questioning why the medium was mostly a "retinal" experience. Always the provocateur, Duchamp never ceased to be engaged, openly or secretly, in activities and works that transformed traditional artmaking. Through his works like Fountain; Bicycle Wheel; L.H.O.O.Q.; and Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2, Duchamp played with the idea of what art can be, opening new possibilities for future generations. This revised entry in the World of Art series, written by three leading experts on twentieth-century art, and published with support of Duchamp’s widow, is one of the most original books written on this enigmatic artist. Featuring a new chapter and preface, as well as updates throughout from specialist scholars who are active in their fields, this is the definitive introduction to Duchamp. Thoroughly illustrated, this volume combines thirty years of research by the authors and challenges history’s presumptions, misunderstandings, and pieces of misinformation about Marcel Duchamp and his legacy.

Download or read book Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life written by Jacquelynn Baas and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking reading of Duchamp's work as informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices identifying creative energy with the erotic impulse. Considered by many to be the most important artist of the twentieth century, the object of intensive critical scrutiny and extensive theorizing, Marcel Duchamp remains an enigma. He may be the most intellectual artist of all time; and yet, toward the end of his life, he said, “If you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual or cerebral.” In Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life, Jacquelynn Baas offers a groundbreaking new reading of Duchamp, arguing in particular that his work may have been informed by Asian “esoterism, ” energetic spiritual practices that identify creative energy with the erotic impulse. Duchamp drew on a wide range of sources for his art, from science and mathematics to alchemy. Largely overlooked, until now, have been Asian spiritual practices, including Indo-Tibetan tantra. Baas presents evidence that Duchamp's version of artistic realization was grounded in a western interpretation of Asian mind training and body energetics designed to transform erotic energy into mental and spiritual liberation. She offers close readings of many Duchamp works, beginning and ending with his final work, the mysterious, shockingly explicit Étant donnés: 1° la chute d'eau 2° le gaz d'éclairage, (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas). Generously illustrated, with many images in color, Marcel Duchamp and the Art of Life speculates that Duchamp viewed art making as part of an esoteric continuum grounded in Eros. It asks us to unlearn what we think we know, about both art and life, in order to be open to experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Girst elegantly unravels the skeins of Duchamp’s thinking. . . . An essential compendium for puzzling out an essential artist.” —Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation Among the most influential artists of the last hundred years, Marcel Duchamp holds great allure for many contemporary artists worldwide and is largely considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern art. Despite this popularity, books on Duchamp are often hyper-theoretical, rarely presenting the artist in an accessible way. This new book explores the artist’s life and work through short, alphabetical dictionary entries that introduce his legacy in a clear and engaging way. From alchemy and anatomy to Warhol and windows, The Duchamp Dictionary offers a pithy and readable text that draws on in-depth scholarship and the very latest research. Thomas Girst includes close to 200 entries on the most interesting and important artworks, relationships, people, and ideas in Duchamp’s life—from The Bicycle Wheel and Fountain to Walter and Louise Arensberg, Peggy Guggenheim, Katherine Dreier, and Arturo Schwarz. Delightful, newly commissioned illustrations introduce each letter of the alphabet and accompany select entries, capturing the irreverent spirit of the artist himself.
Download or read book Rudolf Herz written by Philipp Norman John and published by Kerber Verlag. This book was released on 2024-05-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photograph of Marcel Duchamp, taken in Munich in 1912, serves more than a hundred years later as the starting point for seventeen drawings. Commissioned by the conceptual artist Rudolf Herz, Parisian street painters appropriated Duchamp's radically expressionless photographic portrait, each adding their own unique artistic signature. Duchamp's time in Munich in particular led to his decision to free himself from any form of artistic signature, the "patte", or "paw". Herz's thesis: Duchamp's photograph anticipates the development revealed through his revolutionary idea of readymades. Marcel Duchamp. La Patte is an ironic response to Duchamp's decision and reflects in a playful and associative way the fundamental turning point in his work. Texts by Antje von Graevenitz and others outline the art-historical context.

Book excerpt: Genius. Anti-artist. Charlatan. Impostor! Since 1914 Marcel Duchamp has been called all of these. No artist of the 20th century has aroused more passion and controversy, nor exerted a greater influence on art, the very nature of which Duchamp challenged and redefined as concept rather than product by questioning its traditionally privileged optical nature.

Download or read book Marcel Duchamp s Fountain written by Robert Kilroy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks the centenary of Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain by critically re-examining the established interpretation of the work. It introduces a new methodological approach to art-historical practice rooted in a revised understanding of Lacan, Freud and Slavoj Žižek. In weaving an alternative narrative, Kilroy shows us that not only has Fountain been fundamentally misunderstood but that this very misunderstanding is central to the work’s significance. The author brings together Duchamp’s own statements to argue Fountain’s verdict was strategically stage-managed by the artist in order to expose the underlying logic of its reception, what he terms ‘The Creative Act.’ This book will be of interest to a broad range of readers, including art historians, psychoanalysts, scholars and art enthusiasts interested in visual culture and ideological critique.
