Marcel Duchamp, the artist, and the social expectations of aging

R Pritikin
New Langton Arts, San Francisco, CA 94103.

French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) is considered by many art professionals to be the greatest artist of this century. During his long career, Duchamp developed a set of radical theories that literally redefined art as a contemporary praxis. Indeed, much of Duchamp's work anticipates what today is called postmodern theory. The Duchamp career speaks to issues of aging because over the span of an entire lifetime of 81 years there was no diminution of quality of innovation, theory, or power.
