Dada in New York

Abstract: (10 pp) "From a distance these things, these Movements take on a charm that they do not have close up--I assure you." -- Marcel Duchamp, Letter to Ettie Stettheimer, 1921. Due to the conditions, and poverty present in Europe the art protest movement known as Dada, moved to New York, which had now replaced Paris after World War I as the heart of the world art scene and world art market. This discussion will center around three of the major players of the movement, Duchamp, Man Ray, and Picabia. We will also discuss how their work influenced that which was to follow. Bibliography lists 5 sources + 3 Man Ray photos
