The Urinals of Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" (1917) features a standard urinal signed "R. Mutt," challenging traditional notions of art by presenting an everyday object as an artwork. This provocative piece questions what qualifies as art, emphasizing concepts over aesthetics and highlighting the role of context, intention, and the artist's choice. Duchamp's work is seen as a pioneering example of Dadaism, encouraging viewers to reconsider the boundaries of creativity and artistic value beyond craftsmanship.
