Hey Doris

I'm with you on this one!

Not only that, but Duchamp was/is one of the only (visual) artists to engage with, address and in my opinion create with complexity,  This has little to do with Art Theory before or since as successive political, cultural, commercial and industrial regimes have denied general public access to and education of complexity and systems thinking.  For the most part we still live in a 19thC, Newtonian, analytical world of cause and effect, problem-based, solution-led thinking.  And worse, this has led to the business school mentality for most Higher Education institutions - even those with departments of 'art by Design'.  It is little wonder that the vast majority of Western society refuses to believe in the effects of Global Warming and Climate Change.  Quite simply, their minds cannot cope with it and their 'single minded' obsessiveness refuses to see it, let alone have the capability to draw it.

Very best regards

David

Hi Sylvia and anyone else interested in this

I have no problems with Duchamp - quite the contrary But I have a problem with  the way he got abused and misused/misrepresented. I don't personally equate conceptualism of his calibre with the way bureaucrats,  and linear logical thinkers with little capacity for understanding lateral thinking (some I suspect with borderline autism spectrum when it comes to single minded obsessive organisation) have undermined the ethos of art school thinking.

NOTE ABOUT DUCHAMP 's correct  estimation.

Grounding of my speech : Logicians works about the linguistics as Noam Chomsky ; 
S. Pieirce ( HARVARD)  ; L. von Wittgenstein...

Example of appliances of DUCHAMP 'S DEPTH  :  The bicycle 's wheel

Shape : the sun ( with rays )

Poetry : bicycling in the sun

Figure of style : Metaphor ( which proceeds from analogies )  ; also designing a bicycle by a part of it 
constitutes another style figure called  synecdoque ( in french ).

Word game ( sorry it's in french ) 
Door / Wheel
because 
1) Doors open with " GONDS " that turns on the side to open and close

2) Wheels are fixed by rays. Those rays describe angles.
Angles ; in french are measured by unit called  Grades or Radians or ancient word
forgotten : GONS .

Thus our BICYCLE /// WHEELS ///  DOOR  /// SUN 

Ethnological reference  in Hieroglyphs : the sun is a door. Drawing is 2 concentric circles
as a bicycle wheel has : one in metal ; one in rubber. There are others many " spiritual " games
with the idea of the sun whose rays are terminated by hands and the humorous idea that rays of bicycle are as " hands " stuck to the wheel and allowing to roll...or that wheels of bicycle are as 
widows - doors as in boats the list is infinite..


You could find also equivalent explanation to others Masterpieces of Duchamp. This also correspond to the analysis of french genius writer André Malraux ( also a minister for Culture ) who defined the
work of Art as METAMORPHOSIS... ( including all myths about PROTEUS )

Thus is DUCHAMPS ' FIELD  correctly estimated to my humble view. 


thanks for attention.
best to all
