pop culture sister site of the onion

Marcel Duchamp's work is a rejection of conventional materials and techniques. He was influenced by his brothers' interests in optics and science. Jarry and Leonardo also influenced him. He found inspiration in his father's logic and rejected the bourgeois life. His self-referential calculations filled notebooks. He also wrote an onanistic Summa and sexual annotations.

Readymades

Marcel Duchamp's readymades were art works he created by altering ordinary objects. Readymades were a way to counter retinal art. Duchamp changed the position, joined and titled the objects to create works of art. Most people wouldn't notice them unless they were designed for it.

Fountain

Duchamp's Fountain started out as an ordinary, unadorned urinal. But it became an extraordinary work of art. This work challenges the notion of the pre-made. It is an example of artists who question the notion of originality by rebranding everyday objects as art. The artist purchased a brand new urinal at the JL Mott Iron Works Company of New York City. He intended to take it out of its accepted identity. His painting Nude Descending the Staircase No. 2 (1958) was similar. 2 (1958), forced viewers to reexamine the female body.

LHOOQ

Marcel Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q. work of art was first created in 1919. It is both a readymade and a corrected readymade. It was originally intended to be a kind of readymade arts. The process of creating it isn't easy and there's a lot of confusion as to what it is.


Etant Donnes

Marcel Duchamp's self-published book, "Etant Donnes", is its title. This book reveals the artist's obsession and love for his lover, Maria Martins. The artist was a violent man, and left behind a cast her body as well as unanswered Love Letters.

Self-portrait

Marcel Duchamp created a photographic self-portrait in 1945. This photo shows him as an elderly philosopher and artist, though he was only just 58 years of age. The artist posed for the photographs, using a script by Friedrich Kiesler that describes how to style and pose himself as an old man. Different art historians have interpreted the photograph in different ways.

Warhol's influence from LHOOQ

Portrait of a Young Woman, (After Cranach), is Andy Warhol’s most iconic painting. The work reimagines the Mona Lisa by the German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder, featuring faultless execution in dazzling colors. Warhol, who was the most famous artist of his time, turned to popular culture for inspiration, making the everyday into high art. This is evident in the Art from Art series, in which he reprinted iconic Old Masters and Modern paintings.

What is some pop culture from 2020?

The music business is changing rapidly. In fact, this year we saw Billie Eilish (Post Malone) and Travis Scott reach number 1 in Billboard's Hot 100 chart. This was a record-breaking feat for any artist.

The same goes for streaming services. Spotify reported that they streamed 10 billion hours of audio content in the last year. It's 5x more than the content users were listening to five years ago.

This has caused a significant shift in media consumption. People now spend most of their time-consuming content rather than creating it.

All age groups, including toddlers and retirees, have access to audio content. Anyone can record, edit, mix and release their music.

To be able to sing your favorite song, you don't need to attend university to study classical instrumentation. You can simply download an app, add your voice, and upload them to YouTube.

If you don't feel like making music, why not just watch? You can find videos on many channels of songs, including parodies and covers.

The recording company loved what they heard so they decided to release the single.

This became the first recorded hit single.

Pop music has been the most popular form today of musical entertainment.
