  • Man! Now that (at 1:23) is a 'pear'! Just need to thicken her up some!

    Anyways, like Schoenberg and others, Duchamp was really a product of the 19th century: needing to emulate or sur-realise the physical world. Kandinsky and successors transcended this.

  • GISHWHES 5:38 - 6:10 especially

  • @takemondu Excellent. I have written about it often over the years. My story about it, MADISON ARTS, is in BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED magazine. It is a chapter in my next book, THE FINISHING SCHOOL. My writings are all over! I have a website and write still, my next work will be in the next FREAK WAVE. xo

  • @CuteCatFaith how was the brothel?

  • This was an outstanding series. I didn't own a TV but worked in a fancy NYC brothel at the time, and we'd try to make sure to tune in this series every time. There were few clients then as they were often watching TV for this themselves! This happened a lot in NY -- if there was a good program on, we'd have no business. I paid for art school this way. Uprated and shared.

  • Thank you for posting. I like the Vorticist movement. BLAST! inspired me to do my zine, BIKINI GIRL, now in many museum permanent collections. There are six pages and three color plates on me in MODERN WOMEN by MoMA -- my second group show there. My maiden name is Lisa Baumgardner. Uprated, but was unable to share -- YT limits us. 

  • Duchamp decision to put a urinal in an Avante Garde show and calling it a Fountain opened the doors for modern, conceptual art - it's documented history not a popular perspective. He had been exploring this idea for at least 4 years before then - before travelling to New York . Interested in hearing other theories though!

  • @SerenityNChaos thats one of the popular perspectives but there are others

  • Modern American art was really a result of all of the European artists who left for Zurich & USA because of the Germans invading France.

  • Warhol was a graphic designer not a fine artist....art for the masses ( I don't mind him & appreciate his place in art history). The Cubists & futurists - even post impressionists of Europe were so far ahead of their time. Not even in the same league! Sorry!! :)

    Only Robert Hughes - Australian Art ....can explain The Large Glass with such ease and eloquence! :)
