Marcel Duchamp took aim at conventional notions of "high art," "culture" and commodities by presenting mass-produced objects such as a bottle rack or a snow shovel as sculpture.

Duchamp even acquired a female identity at one point, the blithe and somewhat scandalous Rrose Selavy, who signed a number of their joint works; it was as though, in his quest for complete freedom, Duchamp did not feel obliged to limit himself to the confines of a single sex.
Duchamp said that he wanted to "put painting once again at the service of the mind." Since the time of Courbet, he felt, art had been exclusively "retinal," in that its appeal was primarily to the eye.
Duchamp adored puns and perpetrated a lot of them, but his were never as heavy-footed as that.

For Duchamp, what an artist said was art was art, and he exhibited such objects as a urinal, a mounted bicycle wheel, and a reproduction of the Mona Lisa with a mustache.
This attack on the artistic object was infuriating the many of his fellow artists as well as almost everyone in the audience of the first exhibitions where these wotrks were presented; they were crucial in impoprtance both to the DADA movement and to such neo-DADAists as Jasper Johns and many of the POP artists.

 DADA WITHOUT DUCHAMP / DUCHAMP WITHOUT DADA
Duchamp's readymades (as in readymade clothes), we have been told again and again, were ordinary mass-produced, machine-made objects, arbitrarily chosen by Duchamp with no consideration "for good or bad taste," and designated as "art works" so as to debunk the very concept of individual art making.
Duchamp's Ready-Mades are not works of art but manifestations.
Indeed, Duchamp's own "negation" was never of art as such but only of what he called retinal art, which he rejected in favor of what a post-World War II generation would call conceptualism.

With Fountain Duchamp pioneered the concepts of 'low art,' 'minimal art,' 'conceptual art,' 'body art,' 'art as philosophical statement,' 'art as provocation,' and perhaps more.
Fountain was not the first of Duchamp's readymades, and it was not the only artwork to scandalise polite society.
Whereas the art forger signs a famous artist's name to a counterfeit work in the named artist's style, Duchamp used a fictitious name simply to protect his own identity.

Although his work, due to its artistically provocative nature, received an enormous amount of critical attention, his life was surrounded by the legendary Duchamp “wall of silence.” While his work already presents a kind of nerve-wracking IQ test for artists and art historians, it certainly remains an enigma to the general public.
It was Duchamp who responded most radically to the changes brought about in the art world by the industrial age.

As for its metaphysical aspect, Duchamp's voluminous preparatory notes, published in 1934, reveal that his "hilarious picture" is intended to diagram the erratic progress of an encounter between the "Bride," in the upper panel, and her nine "Bachelors" gathered timidly below amidst a wealth of mysterious mechanical apparatus.
Painstakingly executed on two planes of glass with unconventional materials such as lead foil, fuse wire, and dust, the appearance of the Glass is the result of an extraordinary combination of chance procedures, carefully plotted perspective studies, and laborious craftsmanship.
