Marcel Duchamp
By Sarane Alexandrian
Published in 1977
A wonderful vintage monograph on Marcel Duchamp, the French-American artist whose radical ideas transformed modern art and helped lay the groundwork for Dada, conceptual art, and much of the avant-garde that followed.
Written by French art critic and Surrealist scholar Sarane Alexandrian, this beautifully illustrated volume explores Duchamp’s life, artistic development, and revolutionary approach to art—including his famous readymades and his challenge to traditional ideas of what an artwork could be.
The book features 42 color reproductions and 29 black-and-white illustrations, bringing together many of Duchamp’s most important works while Alexandrian examines the ideas and psychological motivations behind his art.
A particularly charming vintage addition for collectors of modern art, Dada, Surrealism, and vintage art books, with the distinctive character of the classic Crown art-book series.
