This is the story of Marcel Duchamp and how the Dada art movement changed the way people thought about what art could be, and what could be art. From drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa to attaching a bicycle wheel to a stool, Duchamp' s work challenged long-held notions of art and how it should be made. People were amused, confused, and sometimes offended, and that was just the way Marcel Duchamp liked it. With Marcel' s Masterpiece, Jeff Mack explores Duchamp' s most famous provocation, and asks readers to ponder the ideas that help us see the world in new and interesting ways.
Marcel Duchamp' s use of a urinal to challenge assumptions about art in 1917 New York has inherent kid appeal--and Mack exploits the possibilities . . . A funny, clever consideration of an iconic object. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Mixed-media cartooned vignettes, punctuated with collaged elements, including the laugh-out-loud text itself . . . strike just the right balance of headiness and breezy mischievousness for a young audience--innate connoisseurs of epater le bourgeoisie. --Publishers Weekly, starred review
