Duchamp Research

Marcel Duchamp invented the art of readymades, which were basically everyday items on the street or in the home that he basically gave a title and signed it, than called it art. Sometimes he would even modify the objects, but only to a certain extent. He challenged the art world with the old question, basically what makes art, art and what i art and what isn't art. If you ask me, it was a brilliant idea, because, all in all, what is art if not everything. Everything is art, because everything is natural, thus once origination from the same place; nature.
