1. In “Abstract Expressionism” Anthony Everitt, states that Alan Davie commented “that ‘the artist was the first magician and the first spiritual leader and indeed today must take the role of arch-priest of the spiritualism’” (Everitt 302). In what ways does Duchamp try to reject this statement? Why does Duchamp do this, what is his ultimate goal?
2. For my own clarification, what exactly is the importance of myths and symbols to abstract expressionism? Everitt states “[Pollock’s] pictures illustrate, in a partly automatist style, primitive myths…” (Everitt 263) how does Pollock demonstrate these primitive myths? What elements from his artwork show this?
