Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 2 October 1968) was a French artist whose work is most often

associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. Duchamp's output influenced the

development of post-World War I Western art. He advised modern art collectors, to shape the

tastes of Western art during this period. A playful man, Duchamp challenged conventional

thought about artistic processes and art marketing, not so much by writing, but through

subversive actions such as dubbing a urinal "art" and naming it Fountain. He produced relatively

few artworks, while moving quickly through the avant-garde circles of his time.
