Marcel Duchamp

Marcel duchamp has always been a controversial figure in history. Some people call him a serious artist, a pioneer of experimental art in the 20th century and the patron saint of modern art; Some people call him a mocker of elegant art, a poisonous snake in an art basket, and a devil who destroys beauty.

The massacre during the First World War made Duchamp feel desperate. He led like-minded artists to launch a protest movement, the so-called Dadaism Movement. "Da" means "unconscious language" of Trojan horse or baby in French, which seems to be more in line with the spirit of this sport. People often think that Dadaism is nihilism, and its own goal is to let the world know that all established values, principles or aesthetic standards have become meaningless under the destruction of the First World War. During the short popular period from 19 16 to 1943, Dadaism violently spread irrational and anti-art ideas. Duchamp put his signature and title on bottle racks or snow shovels, urinals and other items, and then exhibited them as works of art.

1905, 18-year-old marcel duchamp pretended to study printmaking and became an artist in order to avoid military service. No one expected that this young man would become the first person to rewrite the history of western art.
