Art & the Readymade

- In this is a segment from my documentary-in-progress titled, "Random Acts of Beauty: The Story of Dada." this segment is about duchamp introducing the concept of the readymade art object and we take a trip to the hardware store for a snow shovel.
interesting concept, don't you think? ...but as Francis Naumann said, "how can you be totally indifferent to something?"
Ready - made it's the foolest, ridiculous, pathetic and absurd deception that art history ever had. It's a counterpoint against the 3 pilars of what art means. (At least visual arts).
And it's an offense against painters and sculptors. If art has a creation (if we just count human expression because nature has it's own art) the ready - made it's the destruction.
We are now in ages of easy - art, that is equal stupid art. Nobody needs to imagine anything anymore but a good speech to asume garbage is art, and sell it.
+Daniel Reeds-- of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but I think most scholars agree that all art is man-made. a beautiful sunset, while beautiful, is not art. a photograph of a beautiful sunset is art, because a human selected it and made it his own..... The nature of taste and its expression has changed over the millennia and over various cultures, and the only conclusive thing we can say about it is that there is no one way to regard it. Art is what we think it is. Marcel Duchamp was keenly aware of that fact and set out to prove it. Let us also note that Pablo Picasso was not above using ready-made objects in his art as well.
+Byron Caplan Maybe I was severe in my opinion. (I'll land now on the ground) The issue and perspective about the word "art" it's that ART has no boundaries or edges, so there is no balance in that word (the most conclusive meaning is "know how to create something". It's like the word "GOD". Now seems to me we live in the age of business.
Those who know how to sell are those who earn something. A politician sells ideas, a clerk products, a religion hope, and we have made the world spinning faster, fast food, fast cars, quick messages, fast ART. And that doesn't make sense to me. Schools of art used to have a base, now they removed it. I don't know if it was a good idea. There is a difference between freedom and libertinism (we call it in spanish libertinaje). Even if my english is far from being appropriate I apollogize for the first opinion but I don't agree that an artwork that can't deffend itself and needs someone to explain to you what that piece means. It is beyond to be something.
