Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(10 pp) "From a distance these things, these
Movements take on a charm that they do not have
close up--I assure you." -- Marcel Duchamp, Letter
to Ettie Stettheimer, 1921. Due to the
conditions, and poverty present in Europe the art
protest movement known as Dada, moved to New York,
which had now replaced Paris after World War I as
the heart of the world art scene and world art
market. This discussion will center around three
of the major players of the movement, Duchamp, Man
Ray, and Picabia. We will also discuss how their
work influenced that which was to follow.
