Post 20: Marcel Duchamp

This fits into the Dada Movement because during this movement artists were basically destroying artwork from left to right. As you can see Marcel Duchamp recreated the Mona Lisa with a beard and mustache. Technically he didn't destroy the artwork, but he insulted it. The Mona Lisa is a highly respected piece of artwork and Duchamp wrote all over it. Also during this time artists were call non-artists.  To me Marcel is one too since he didn't do any work at all. Seriously anybody can draw a mustache and beard so this doesn't show any originality at all. All it does it raise controversy and talk.
