5.0 out of 5 stars DADA's Duchamp, June 21, 2000

This review is from: Duchamp and Co. (Paperback)

Finding myself writing an art exam and short of information on the art movement Dada and works of Marcel Duchamp, I resorted to the local library where I found this amazing book on just that. The book takes the reader through Duchamp's Futurist days to where he ended, one of the greatest contempory artist's of the 21st century. The colour photographs are amazing, and it is visually as well as intellectually stimulating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coffee table art book par excellence, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Duchamp and Co. (Paperback)

A well chosen set of prints that are all beautifully done. The written text addresses many aspects of Duchamp's work and his influence on others without falling into unnecessary technical jargon. It will leave you wanting to run down to the museum to see more.
