Abstract

This volume is an illustrated study that presents French artist Marcel Duchamp's last major art work (coined the Étant donnés) which surprised some in the art world who believed he'd given up art for chess almost 25 years earlier. It is a tableau, visible only through a pair of peep holes (one for each eye) in a wooden door, of a nude woman lying on her back with her face hidden and legs spread holding a gas lamp in the air in one hand against a landscape backdrop. Duchamp worked secretly on the piece from 1946 to 1966 in his Greenwich Village studio. It is composed of an old wooden door, bricks, velvet, twigs, a female form made of pig skin, glass, linoleum, an assortment of lights, a landscape composed of hand-painted and photographed elements and an electric motor housed in a cookie tin which rotates a perforated disc. The author argues that Duchamp's famous last artwork, should be seen not as a summation of his career's body work but as an invitation to endless interpretation.

Abstract

Acknowledged as the "Artist of the Century," Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) left a legacy that dominates the art world to this day. Inventing the ironically dégagé attitude of "ready-made" art-making, Duchamp heralded the postmodern era and replaced Pablo Picasso as the role model for avant-garde artists. John F. Moffitt challenges commonly accepted interpretations of Duchamp's art and persona by showing that his mature art, after 1910, is largely drawn from the influence of the occult traditions. Moffitt demonstrates that the key to understanding the cryptic meaning of Duchamp's diverse artworks and writings is alchemy, the most pictorial of all the occult philosophies and sciences.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage porte sur la relation étroite de l'oeuvre de Marcel Duchamp avec la notion de l'Androgyne, la coexistence des principes mâle et femelle, hérités des mythes anciens de la création. Il porte également sur les idées platoniciennes, les pensées gnostiques, hermétique, et les croyances alchimiques telles qu'elles se trouvent exprimées dans le corpus de l'oeuvre de Duchamp. Il s'agit, dans un premier temps, de présenter le rôle et la signification de l'Androgyne dans les mythes anciens de la création, chez les philosophes grecs, dans la gnose, la philosophie hermétique des alchimistes et la cabale. Dans un second temps l'oeuvre de Marcel Duchamp sera abordée d'un point de vue de la figure « androgyne ». En particulier seront analysées de façon détaillée les deux grandes oeuvres de Duchamp, La Mariée mise a nu par ses célibataires même et Étant donnés: 1º la chute d'eau, 2º le gaz d'éclairage, en nous attachant à l'étude de leurs caractéristiques spécifiquement androgynes telles qu'elles ont été définies dans la première partie.
