Marcel Duchamp - Fountain (encore)
In 1917, a toilet was turned on its side and completely upended the art world. Marcel Duchamp's Fountain was a controversial early readymade. It has been named one of the most influential artworks of the 20th century and it is on the list of required works for AP Art History students to learn about.

Show Notes
Marcel Duchamp's Fountain was a controversial early readymade. It has been named one of the most influential artworks of the 20th century and it is on the list of required works for AP Art History students to learn about. Since the Art History AP test is just a few weeks away, I thought this would be a good time to drop an encore presentation giving a little bit of contextual information to understand how a toilet could make such a splash in the art world.
