Марсель Дюшан (1887–1968) — одна из ключевых фигур в искусстве ХХ века. Но до сих пор актуален вопрос, кто же он — гениальный художник или ловкий провокатор? Широкой публике Дюшан известен прежде всего как создатель
реди-мейдов, буквально взорвавших традиционные представления о природе и ценности произведений искусства. Подвергнув пересмотру эстетические нормы и концепцию авторства, Дюшан вывел искусство в четвертое измерение, расширив его горизонты в бесконечность.
Интересы Дюшана удивительно разносторонни: от живописи до оптики, от фотографии до издательской деятельности, от литературы до шахмат. Соединяя несоединимое, он создал для себя и женское альтер эго — Ррозу Селяви.
В сущности, главным произведением Дюшана стала сама его жизнь, и книга Каролин Кро позволит читателю хотя бы отчасти оценить стройность ее замысла и безупречность исполнения.

First of all, the Reaktion Books Critical Lives series is a must for everyone's library and backpack. They're small and not a word is wasted. Like the others, the Duchamp bio is a good introduction to the man and his art. Well-written and well thought out. Not big on the illustrations, but that's not the purpose of the book.

Clear facts from the biography of the great artist written like a movie script that makes it easy to read but exciting and rich at the same time. This book brought me a bit closer to understanding the modern art.

Thoroughly enjoyable quick read on Duchamp from a number of angles.

Not a chronological bio, but instead focusing on various facets of his work and life.

Intriguing and illuminating at times, but thin and so not very satisfying; still it's sure nice to visit with Marcel for a spell.
