Dalí/Duchamp - Hardcover
Eroticism, science and humor collide in the work of these two close friends
Dalí/Duchamp takes a detailed look at the little-explored relationship between two of the 20th century’s most famous artists. The two might seem like polar opposites at first glance―Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), the father of conceptual art who rejected painting in 1918, appears to have little in common with the showmanlike Salvador Dalí (1904–89), the exceptional Surrealist painter of fantastical landscapes. But the two men were united by a unique combination of humor and skepticism that led both to challenge conventional views of art and life in their own respective ways.
Beyond their shared thematic concerns, the artists knew and respected each other. After meeting in the 1930s through mutual contacts within the Surrealist group, Duchamp and Dalí maintained a firm friendship over the following decades, spending time together in Paris, New York and Catalonia, where Duchamp purchased a summer house in Cadaqués, close to Dalí’s home in Port Lligat.
Throughout this volume, expert contributors explore themes common to both artists, chief among them eroticism and identity, and both men’s engagement with science, optics, religion and myth. Each section of the book is sumptuously illustrated with key pieces from both artists’ bodies of work and features previously unpublished photographs, letters and ephemera that testify to the enduring warmth of their friendship. Dalí/Duchamp offers a fresh understanding of the work of two seminal artists of the 20th century.

Review:
...revealing their shared impish humour, and urge to upset the applecart of the art world. It places Duchamp’s game-changing readymades alongside Dalí’s Surrealist objects... (Holly Williams BBC)

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der Band untersucht die bisher kaum behandelte Beziehung zwischen zwei der berühmtesten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Auf den ersten Blick scheinen beide völlig unterschiedliche Ansätze zu verfolgen: Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), Vater der Konzeptkunst, lehnte jegliche Form der Malerei ab. Er scheint wenig gemeinsam zu haben mit dem Meister der Selbstinszenierung Salvador Dalí (1904-89), dem Maler wundersamer surrealistischer Landschaften. Was die Künstler verband, war eine von beiden geteilte Lebenseinstellung begründet in Witz und Skeptizismus, die sie neue Wege in der Kunst und im Leben beschreiten ließ. Dali und Duchamp kannten und schätzten einander. Nach einem ersten Zusammentreffen im Jahr 1930 verband sie eine gegenseitige Freundschaft, die über die Jahrzehnte bestand hatte. Immer wieder trafen sie in Paris, New York oder Katalonien zusammen. Nicht weit von Dalís Anwesen in Port Lligat entfernt, kaufte sich Duchamp in Cadaqués ein Sommerhaus. Der Band ist großzügig illustriert und zeigt bisher unveröffentlichte Fotografien. Er ermöglicht einen erfrischend neuen Blick auf die zwei Ausnahmekünstler.
