Marcel Duchamp

http://www.understandingduchamp.com
This guy is amazing to look at, should check out his webpage- title header link.

He was he was born Marcel Duchamp in 1887 and since then he has created many interesting artworks, he used mixed art , looking at cubism,surrealism and dadaism. his work is recognised by its humour and intention to be unconventional in his media. His legacy includes that art can be about ideas and not worldy things.

this artists has some amazing things, his art is very useful, it has or can have a purpose, some are imaginary, but most are amazing to view and has relevance to other aspects of society and the world, there is a part work that reminds me of a weather cycle, i think its entitled chocolate grinder or similar name, but it portrays the cycle of weather, from cloud to ocean and then to mist then back up to the clouds again, I found this very inteligent, he has literally made a art work out of something that is not really noticed much.
