1. While reading for a different class, I came across the quote "A wise man defined the purpose of art as 'making the phenomenon strange.' Things become so familiar that we no longer perceive them at all. Art, however, can take ordinary phenomena out of the background of existence and into the foreground of consideration." How can this quote be applied to Duchamp? What phenomena did he make us perceive that we otherwise may not have noticed?
2. Why did abstract expressionist painters produce so many seemingly repetitive pieces of art (such as Rothko's rectangles, Pollock's drip paintings, etc.)?
