__________________________________

The originality inherent in Duchamp's ideas and the novelty of his methods—such as painting on glass or adapting existing everyday objects —is clearly revealed in the works chosen by the Spanish art critic Gloria Moure for illustration in this book. Her introductory text places the works —from the coolly technical to the witty and erotic —in the context of Duchamp's artistic development in his native France and from 1915 in the United States, and is supplemented by a chronology of his life and career. Duchamp emerges as a complex, inventive and provocative genius, in the face of whose work it is hard for any viewer to remain unmoved. (from the publisher)
