...responded with such negative behavior because he added nude to the title. I guess when you add nude to the title people just suspect that you are talking about a nude body. I think people felt intimidated by his paintings, and felt he was making a mockery of the audience because no one was able to find any nude bodies in the painting, because Marcel Duchamp I feel had nothing to do with any form of nudist, it was all about motion. I think the public was more gazed upon the name rather than what the painting was about. Marcel Duchamp got these ideas from Etienne Jules Marey illustration of how he dictated movement; this is how motion pictures were invented. Just being able to understand what Marcel was talking about and his intent of bring the audience awareness to motion, made me better understand what he was talking about and where he is coming from. Just to look at the picture and read the title can give you mix feelings, because the first thing you look for is nudity in the picture. Michael Angelo sculptures David which is a master piece of renaissance art, was under much scrutiny by the people. This piece of art represented how David triumphed over Goliath and freedom from foreign and religious domination. Because the way the sculpture was made, with its genital exposed was a political mockery some thought, the supporters of Medici would throw stones at the sculpture, so they had to have guards to watch over it. Because of the nudity they placed a leaf over the genital...

The Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending art work became one of the controversial works because people thought he was mocking the audience because they could not find a woman in the painting. Critics and art magazine were offing the public monies just to find a woman in the painting. The public did not like the Michelangelo’s David art work. They felt it was defensive due to the fact that male genital exposed. That was during a time were woman and children were considered fragile. Over a period time when it was finally out to it resting place in the front of the seat of government in Florence they covered his male genitals with and it varies from the original which was a bronze leaf to the replicates of white leaf. But even the leaf that was chosen meant something. What did contemporary viewers find objectionable about each work? Duchamp’s Nude descent carried the same puzzlement due to the fact that a visible recognized woman could not be found. He wanted the viewer to stretch their imagination to see the woman. The objections to the statue David was the same all over the full frontal and back of David. To capture the full form of a nude, young, vital male, was to sexual and obscene for those time. What are the reasons behind Duchamp’s innovative approach to human form? I believe he wanted to combine...

...Art ‘I was interested in ideas – not merely in visual products. I wanted to put [art] once again at the service of the mind’ (Marcel Duchamp). Discuss with reference to ONE of Duchamp’s art works. “The readymade can be seen as a sort of irony, because it says here it is, a thing that I call art, I didn’t even make it myself” (Ades and Cox et al., 1999: 151). Most of Marcel Duchamp’s “readymades” are the representatives of this ideology, the most controversial and distinguished one is “Fountain” definitely, which is a urinal in Society of Independents Artists Exhibition in New York in 1917 (Nesbit, 1994). After this exhibition, the debate was initiated to argue what was art and what was not. This essay will first consider how Marcel Duchamp challenged the concept of art with Fountain and secondly, will evaluate the significance of Fountain, to demonstrate the worth of Fountain as one of the most significant art works in 20th century. There are numerous understandings of what art is. The definition of art from Oxford Dictionary is “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture” (Oxford Dictionaries). However, this is a traditionary explanation about art. It has no longer apply to the modern art in various aspects. Since the Dadaism movement started in Europe in early 20th century, anti-art works had been prevalent among the modern artists. The art theory had an enormous transformation during...

...Art and Intention Checkpoint D Lopez Axia College of University of Phoenix Art 101 October 26, 2012 The reaction of the public was not being able to understand what the artist were trying to convey. Marcel Duchamp’s and Michelangelo’s David Nude Descending a Staircase showed this painting had two modern art movements, the Cubism and Futurism. Cubism: The Cubism period focused a lot of multiple viewpoints. Mapped the motion and energy of the body as it passed through space making the picture look unrealistic. Futurism: The Futurist period, was a period fascinated with speed. Artists created an illusion as if the painting were moving. This painting raised eyebrows in France and brought a scandal in New York when the painting was display, the mechanistic approach to the female body was perceived as a crude. Viewers found Michelangelo’s David painting as if he was mocking the audience because They could not find a woman in the painting. People didn’t care very much for his painting, people were offended by the nudity. The public felt that Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending art didn’t appreciate art, the people felt that he was disrespectful, his work showed flat forms that overlapped in shallow space.

...Art and Intention Colleen Claus ART/101 August 16, 2013 John Lennox Art and Intention The statue of David was created to symbolize the city of Florence’s freedom from foreign, papal, and Medici rule by depicting the triumph of David over the giant, Goliath. The unveiling met with public resistance. Supporters of the Medici family hurled stones at it during the night. Other citizens objected to its nudity. To protect the sensibilities of the viewers, a copper skirt was made to go around it (Sayre, 2009). Marcel Duchamp’s painting, “Nude Descending A Staircase” is a captivating piece. By viewing it from a distance one perceives the graceful flow of movement. This is an abstract painting using cubism and inspired by stop-action photography. The public expected a realistic painting and did not understand the work. They thought the artist was mocking them. A reporter challenged anyone to find a woman in the picture (MyArtsLab, 2012). This painting is not a study of the human body but a study of movement. The inspiration for this piece was a book by Etienne Jules Marey, pictures of a horse trotting in stop-action photography, and an illustration that used a system of dots to indicate the point of each movement made (MyArtsLab, 2012). Duchamp depicted motion with the study of a figure in kinetic motion, represented by successive superimposed images of the subject. At first viewing the painting seemed to depict chaos and confusion. Knowing the artist’s...

...Marcel Duchamp’s painting the Nude Descending a Staircase, and Michelangelo’s David were pieces of art that were met with heavy criticism in different ways. Duchamp, more so for his painting was deemed unrealistic and when initially viewed the audience found it insulting. Michelangelo’s statue David on the other hand received criticism due to political views and societal views about nudity. The objections seen and posed by audiences in the Duchamp painting was in that it didn’t make sense, there wasn’t a natural flow to the piece. People were used to seeing images reflective of life that were easy to understand and this was not the case. The painting was quite abstract and challenging for people to understand. Duchamp I believe took an innovative approach towards his piece because he wanted to challenge his audience in making them think outside the box. The painting clearly shows he was interested in the human body by painting it in abstract form rather than in true form, the body in motion is visually deceptive. Another reason for his approach was his interest in the works of photographic art; in fact, Nude Descending a Staircase is reflective of artist such as Eadweard Muybridge, Woman Walking Downstairs,(www.newyorktimes.com). Michelangelo’s David an iconic ode to the human body was created in 1504, (www.newyorktimes.com), and the figure representative of strength before a battle is larger than life. The religious connotation of the piece is part of Christianity and...

...Art and Intention The reaction of the public to Michelangelo’s David and Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase was the painting overturned conventions not only for depicting the female nude but also for representing three-dimensional space on a canvas. Michelangelo’s David it is one of the world’s most famous sculptures, considered a masterpiece of Renaissance art. But it did not meet with universal approval when it was first dis played in Florence, Italy, in 1504. The thing that contemporary viewers find objectionable about each work was the plaza where public political meetings took place on a raised platform called the arringhiera from which the English word “harangue” derives). Its political context, in other words, was clear. It represented David’s triumph over the tyrant Goliath and was meant to symbolize Republican Florence the city’s freedom from foreign and papal domination and from the rule of the Medici family as well. Les Demoiselles d’Avingnon has often been interpreted as commenting on the anxiety surrounding venereal disease, a life-threatening sexual affliction that widely affected prostitutes in Paris during the 1900s. The reasons behind Duchamp’s innovative approach to human form were inspired by a popular exhibition of African objects held in Paris in the 1800s. Frequently carried modern European perceptions of cultural superiority and often appropriated the art without understanding its original meaning function. Yes the artist’s inspiration enhanced...

...Definition of Art According to Oxford Dictionary Art is defined as: “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power” Another definition of art by George Dickie in 1969, as “A work of art in the classificatory sense is (1) an artifact (2) a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution” (Torres & Kamhi) Painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is one of Van Gogh’s most renowned paintings. Van Gogh painted Starry Night shortly after a stint in a psychiatric hospital. It is one of the most replicated images in history. The features of this painting, the stars, moon and village beyond are a bit embellished, but still very realistic and most people feel at ease and can identify with it. Thomas Kinkade is one of my most favorite artists; one of his most renowned pieces is called A Christmas Welcome. This painting shows a small country home with warmth coming from it. It gives the observers a Welcoming feeling of wanting to go inside and join in the festivities. Sculpture The Hermes of Praxiteles is dated back to 343 BC and made from Parian Marble.
