Ready-Made
At the beginning of the 20th century, World War 1 had begun and with it came a new feeling for life and art. The question that had come about in life was, what exactly makes art...art? During each of the different artistic eras there are always transitional artists, those who lead the world into another direction. An example during the early 20th century is Marcel DuChamp (1887-1968). DuChamp spoke his mind and looked beyond the visual constraints that artists were placing on themselves at that time. Much like Picasso who led the Cubism movement, DuChamp was a leader of the surreal ready-made art. Ready-made art is the direct use of manufactured consumer products in art. DuChamp's most prominent and controversial piece was Fountain, a piece which gained disrespect from the general public, because it was not considered art. But Duchamp should be respected for his passion for art and his ability to stay unique despite the negative feedback he received.
