duchamp, mArcel dUchamp

Duchamp was an innovative Frenchman. He presented readymades. The most famous one is probably "Fountain". Which was a urinal signed R. Mutt.

The readymades were common manufactured items that he barely, if at all, modified.
In this way Duchamp was able to ask the question in the wider sense,"What is art?"
