    1. Critic’s Notebook

      In 1917, He Made a Urinal Into Art. We’re Still Discussing.

      Marcel Duchamp changed the face of culture in the 20th century, and beyond, with an unconventional sculpture that challenged how we think of art.

      By Blake Gopnik

      This 1917 photo by Alfred Stieglitz shows “Fountain” taken shortly after the sculpture was rejected by the Independent Artists’ exhibition. It is displayed in front of a Marsden Hartley painting, much like two that were in the exhibition.
