Duchamp

With Bicycle Wheel, he launched the concept of the “readymade” which is an everyday object that is art because the artist says so.  The readymades are widely viewed as the birth of conceptual art. Yet given that, a century later, we’re still not done with the “but is it art?  Since the artist say it's art i t is considered art.  His works were very shocking given they day they came out.  I like this piecer because if you glance at it you can tell it is machine like  but in realty its not a machine its a bike.
