Was Marcel Duchamp a Surrealist artist?
1 Answer
The answer to whether Marcel Duchamp was a Surrealist artist is complicated. During his lifetime, the French artist resisted being labeled as a member of any art movement. Despite this, he is often associated with both the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. A provocative artist, Duchamp challenged conventional thought about artistic creation through subversive actions such as dubbing a urinal "art" and naming it Fountain. His influence was crucial to the development of Surrealism, Dada and Pop art. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Marcel Duchamp art.
