About this Item

DUCHAMP / PICASSO: "HE WAS WRONG" - STOCKHOLM, MODERNA MUSEET - Catalogue ed. by Daniel Birnbaum, Ronald Jones & Annika Gunnarsson. Stockholm 2012/13. 140 S. mit 29 farb. Abb., Bibliographie, brosch. - Text in engl. & schwed. Sprache. Pablo Picasso und Marcel Duchamp - die zwei ganz Großen zum ersten Mal in einem Katalog vereint: Picasso, Inbegriff des modernen Malers, und Duchamp, distanzierter Ironiker und Schachgenie, der die Malerei in Frage stellte und die Kunst zum intellektuellen Vexierspiel werden ließ. Eine leidenschaftliche Konfrontation der zwei vielleicht größten Rivalen der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. ***** Two giants, Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, together for the first time. Picasso, who personified the modernist painter, and Duchamp, the indifferent ironist and chess genius, who challenged painting and transformed art into a maze of intellectual amusements. The catalogue represents a passionate confrontation between what are perhaps the greatest of rivals in 20th-century art. Reflecting on the resistance each artist felt towards the other is especially meaningful given that 2012 is the centennial anniversary of the first meeting between Picasso and Duchamp. The contrasts between the two artists will be explored, from Picasso's fascination with the Minotaur to Rrose Selavy, Duchamp's feminine alter ego. Before Picasso died in 1973, he had noted, with rising resentment, that other artists were challenging his legacy.
