Fountain

Fountain,
Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)

A playful man, Duchamp prodded thought about artistic processes and art marketing, not so much with words, but with actions such as dubbing a urinal "art" and naming it Fountain.

I'm amazed how can an unthoughtful piece can be something. Whoever can do that, take a crappy thing and turn it into art; is an artist indeed.
