Tate Morden Museum of London : Duchamp / Manray / Picabia exhibition

Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Francis Picabia were at the cutting edge of art in the first half of the twentieth century, and made a lasting impression on modern and contemporary art. Duchamp invented the concept of the ‘readymade’: presenting an everyday object as an artwork, Man Ray pioneered avant-garde photographic and film techniques and Picabia’s use of kitsch, popular or low-brow imagery in his paintings undermined artistic conventions.

Their shared outlook on life and art, with a taste for jokes, irony and the erotic, forged a friendship that provided support and inspiration. At the heart of the Dada movement and moving in the same artistic circles, they discussed ideas and collaborated, echoing and responding to each other’s works. Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia explores their affinities and parallels, uncovering a shared approach to questioning the nature of art.

My touch!: Very interesting exhibition about 3 major artist that revolutionized our vision of art and, ergo, life consideration. Through their work, we can see the emergence of life questioning and somehow, criticism against the way consumption was (and still) taking most of our life. Under this post, you will see special pages about these 3 figures of Art.
