Questions

1. What makes Duchamp’s use of utilitarian objects art? Why is Duchamp’s indifference and mockery of traditional sculptures interpreted as artwork by critics?
2. Each artistic movement seems to grow out of a larger historical context, such as war, in the case if Abstract Expressionism. How did the war affect Abstract Expressionism and how does this compare to previous artistic movements in their respective historical context?
