  • I'm not a huge fan of Duchamp's work, but my impression of this clip is much the same as photek's.

    When MD says "indifference", sure he's using a casual urbane expression, but beneath this there is a fundamental point being made - that "good taste" and "bad taste" are both the enemies of human creativity.

    Like the Vedic expression that the wise man "clings neither to this nor to that".

    You may be right that he wasn't a "great" artist, but as an art philosopher he has few peers.

  • Duchamp was magnificently full of shit. He never told the truth in his entire life. Why bother? No one would get it if he did. He didn't nother telling the truth. He did the truth. All Art is subsumed under his wing. Marcel Duchamp. Carl Andre. Andy Kaufman. 20th cent's grreatest wise men.

  • @8cccpeevostokzempf actually, duchamp is pretty straight forward, blatant, literal, etc. Seems you are the one who doesnt tell the truth and just makes things up? or maybe youre just dumb? my money leans toward the latter.

  • @8cccpeevostokzempf Andre and Kaufman? LOL way to invalidate everything you just said

  • @roquefort88888  I like what you said about good and bad taste being enemies of creativity.

    Your comment punctuated the short video for me beautifully. Thank you.

  • Duchamp is Copernic. What came before him and what came after cannot be judged by the same criterias. For what about pop art, with all due respect, that's a marketing strategy. Americans made money out of duchamp, duchamp and futurism made punk out of art.

  • @beradification --Wiser in their respective fields, yes.  Duchamp's wisdom lies within the field of art--especially philosophy of art and visual thinking.

  • chill the fuck out and do some watercolor paintings dudes

  • le maître à penser des petits-bourgeois

  • You are all painfully boring.

  • @beradification No, Pollock was most definitely the murderer I was thinking of. You tell me if I'm pushing your buttons or not, it's not up to me to decide.

    Pierre Pinoncelli was right to do what he did.
