Although he began as a painter, Duchamp came to prioritize concepts and ideas over visualizations. This led him to abandon traditional forms of expression and develop approaches that subordinated the visual to the conceptual.
Indeed, his “readymade” sculptures subverted the ordinary representational nature of art insofar as they did not depict anything; rather, they were, themselves, ordinary objects. This is exemplified in his 1917, “Fountain,” which was a urinal inscribed with the signature “R. Mutt.” Rather than being a representation of a urinal, “Fountain” is simply a urinal.
Duchamp argued that its status as art was a function of the dignity he imparted to the object, not its representational or aesthetic qualities.

What is dada?
Also called Dadaism, Dada was a literary and artistic movement that started in 1916 in the area of Zurich, Switzerland. It began as a rejection of rationalism and nationalism which were seen as practices that brought world war I. It also had some political affinities in addition to being an anti world-war I art. Dada activities were demonstrations, gatherings, and the publication of literary/art journals that covered culture and political topics.
