"Fools Rushing in" Contemporary Mixed-Media Collage

1990s

About the Item

This mixed-media artwork features a chaotic scene where different characters rush into a frantic race to nowhere. Titled "Fools Rushing in", the collage alludes to the nonsense of modern life. In this absurd competition, some of the fools shove others, one uses a giraffe, and another one grows wings to win over. The technique and media galore emphasize the painting theme. Fur, silver paint, metal paper, and watercolor are joyfully combined to translate the messiness of this life aspect. The artist signed and wrote the title "Fools Rushing in " in the lower part of the artwork.

  • Oil, Wood and Straw Mixed Media signed N. Schultz after Marcel Duchamp
    By (after) Marcel Duchamp
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    This reproduction of Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" by artist N. Schultz is intriguing due to the depth of the required study and the various stages of refinement that preceded its creation. This is a work using a variety of media. Appearing as a painting, it is almost a sculpture, using pieces of straw and thin wood grouped together and then painted. Studying the painting, beyond the immense amount of research that must have gone into it, reveals another captivating aspect: the subject itself. It is one of Marcel Duchamp's most emblematic works, embodying elements of two crucial movements in the history of art. This was best expressed by Duchamp himself in 1912 when he declared: "I felt more Cubist than Futurist in this abstraction of a nude descending a staircase: the general aspect and the brownish chromatism of the painting are Cubist, even if the treatment of the movement has some Futurist overtones." The nude has always served as a coded representation meeting precise criteria. However, in this context, it is not posed statically but represents almost repeated movements like an open fan, and in relief, thus departing from the classical code of the nude where everything is immediate and requires no keys to interpret the scene. The main silhouette can be seen on the right-hand edge of the figure. And on the left, a multiplication of the same figure descending the staircase. It's extraordinary that the artist has succeeded in imitating this painting, creating a field of observation that rises into a third dimension. Duchamp said of his initial painting...
