Through probing questions and disarmingly candid responses, Duchamp himself chronicles his extraordinary life — from his early Cubist paintings and the scandalous Nude Descending a Staircase to the conceptual bombshell of the readymades and the enigmatic Large Glass — offering an unfiltered window into the mind that reshaped the very definition of art in the twentieth century.\n\nWith a preface by Salvador Dalí, this volume carries the weight of an era, illuminating the philosophical underpinnings of Dadaism and conceptual art through Duchamp's own razor-sharp wit and deliberate irreverence. Cabanne's interviewing style is precise yet conversational, coaxing from his subject reflections on chance, irony, eroticism, and the artist's eternal battle against the retinal. Essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand not just Duchamp, but the seismic cultural shifts that defined the modern age, this book leaves one question hovering irresistibly in the air: if art can be anything, what, ultimately, is everything?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203189481691,"sku":"2026200015088-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ffbb83a-cbbb-4422-868f-20708177de65.png?v=1788145370","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015088-secondhand-dialogues-with-marcel-duchamp","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
