Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) has entered mainstream culture as one of
the founding fathers of modern art. Despite his popularity, books
on Duchamp often shroud his work in theoretical and critical
writing. Here, instead, is a book exploring the artist's life and
work in a thoroughly new and engaging manner, with short,
alphabetical dictionary entries written in lively, jargon- free
prose that at last allow Duchamp's work and influence to be
accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience. The book features
more than 200 entries on the most interesting and important
artworks, relationships, people and ideas in Duchamp's life, from
chess, puns, the fourth dimension, love and genius, to the Bicycle
Wheel and Fountain, Walter and Louise Arensberg, Peggy Guggenheim,
Katherine S. Dreier and Arturo Schwarz. A contextual introduction
shows how the dictionary form has been an inspiration to artists
and writers from Flaubert to the Surrealists. Underpinned by the
latest scholarship and research, Thomas Girst's texts show how, in
the words of contemporary artist Thomas Hirschhorn, Duchamp was
'the most intelligent mind of his time'.
