I am not normally impressed or inspired by abstract expressionism, but I am intrigued sometimes. However, Marcel Duchamp does impress, inspire and intrigue me. It was in the 1920s when Duchamp randomly began picking up objects from the world around him and either combining them into unique constructions or simply announcing them as art. Duchamp proves as artist or designers we can create something so radical, so controversial and so ahead of it's time, theres nothing we can't do. He proves there are no boundaries and no rules, and this is why I am inspired by Marcel Duchamp. Plus I do like to think he may of not been trying to create a new art form and was simply just keeping himself entertained and having fun doing humorous works in an area which was so strict at the time.
Fountain (by R.Mutt), 1917
