The Beginning of My Love Affair with Duchamp,
By Erika Sweeney-Weber (Philadelphia, PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duchamp (Basic Art Series, 35) (Paperback)
This book is highly recommended. The information available within the covers is something that I could not find in my art history book. The reader will gain insight into Duchamp's views and his thoughts leading up to his decisions to take the road, artistically, that he did. Wonderfully written, glorious color photos and beautiful insights, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to add to a library.
