    Marcel Duchamp Course: The Creator of Ideas, Beatriz Bastarrica Mora

    Tuesday, February 11, 2020
    Marcel Duchamp is perhaps the most cited and least understood Western modern artist. His life and work, intrinsically and elusively intertwined, still hide secrets today that baffle, amaze, and sometimes offend when uncovered. Marcel Duchamp can be considered the “inventor” of conceptual art; however, he is best known for the humorous occurrences he called Readymades. In this course, we will review these varied dimensions of his figure with the goal of gaining a more thorough understanding of contemporary art, which is, to a certain extent, his legacy.
