  21. Duchamp – readymades: anti-art Painting is "washed up," Duchamp said in 1912. Fountain, 1917

  22. Duchamp – readymades: anti-art One important characteristic was the short sentence which I occasionally inscribed on the "Readymade." That sentence instead of describing the object like a title was meant to carry the mind of the spectator towards other regions more verbal. - 1961 Surrealism In Advance of a Broken Arm, 1915

  23. The only thing that is not art is inattention. – Duchamp A new difficulty: ONTOLOGICAL – Is it art? Why? (Previous difficulties: modal, contingent, tactical) Magritte The Treason of Images 1928

  28. Objective: Destroy the Object The Cubists retained the three-dimensional space . . . their way of seeing remains deeply materialistic; my thinking on abstraction, on the other hand, rests on the belief that such a space must be destroyed; to achieve the destruction of the object I have reached the point of using surfaces. -- Mondrian

  29. Why? A universal language We want concrete not abstract painting, for nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface. Once they are liberated . . . they are on their way towards the real goal of art: to create a universal language. -- Theo Van Doesburg
