Summary |
"Marcel Duchamp provides a fresh insight into one of the most notorious cultural figures of modern times, one who continues to inspire artists today. Drawing on the artist's correspondence and interviews, Caroline Cros details Duchamp's life-long belief in chance and coincidence, and shows how his constant search for the random in life was echoed in the art he created. He was always travelling, meeting people and embracing new experiences, a lifestyle that prevented him from following a conventional artistic career."--BOOK JACKET |
