Marcel Duchamp interview on Art and Dada (1956) 

Hello, I was wondering if you could please upload all the interviews Peggy Noonan did on Charlie Rose's show over the years. I think she did 6 or 7 interviews. Thank you.

@@SA-sm8ys I'll definitely get those up. It takes time to color correct and upscale those, but I'll add it to my list. I also have a Patreon! If you decide to support me there, I'll find even more rare and unreleased videos. Either way, thank you for watching!

You run a great channel. Just wondering what the best way to contact you is for business or other inquiries? Thanks.

@@jimmyboombox7460 what's the inquiry?

Hello there, this is a great piece of archive footage: would you be able to allow me to put an extract from it, with credit to you of course, in an online educational (non-profit) journal article about Duchamp, and maybe use a screenshot? best regards, Krzysztof

That's very well expressed.

Excellent!

If there is no "time and space" (your term) then there is no art bksug2009. Your thoughts (which is what I presume your talking about) are a pretext for that "subject" that exists in "time and space"

AMEN! Thanks for picking up on that because it's everything.

@@spacticki totally agree with you, but you have to remember that we are talking under a video documentary of a guy that took a broken glass put it in a museum and claimed it was a piece of art (created by him), and people still agree... logic and this kind of "art" are completely apart

I always thought he wouls be friendly, if reserved; but here at least, he appears quite friendly and approachable.

That’s amazing, he’s The Godfather of conceptual art Andy Warhol loved his work, definitely one of my favorite

Kalopsia I really really will appreciate to know more of your history about the great Marcel Duchamp. You can write me whenever you want, it will be really helpfull for my information in arts wich I am finishing my studies. thnx

He is my great great great uncle! Does this mean we are distant relatives?!

that is SO cool

I am Duchamp's father

You mean for a French speaker. Frenchman aren’t known for their terrible English

Well, it's Marcel Duchamp. Did you expect grunted American English? 😊

@@j0nnyism he must think most Frenchman sound like some cigarette smoking, mustache twirling, baguette eating hon hon honnnnnn cartoon character 🤷‍♂️

Either it is "impeccable" or it is "not impeccable." This qualifier you add -- "for a Frenchman" -- is unneeded.

@@j0nnyism You mean "francophone," not "French speaker."

I love those older artist interviews where part of it is set up like a nice little accidental visit by a friend, yet obviously partly scripted! Look up some Brel, Picasso, Warhol and even Bukowski or Cohen ones up for this cosy yet critical feeling.

It's like a roll of pictures one by one. Cubism mixed with futurism, a truly great piece of work.

I relate to what you're saying, the painting took my breath away the first time i saw it

Each time, you see something different in the motion. But essentially you intuit motion.

my favorite thing is to imagine how people upon hearing the title would secretly be harboring prurient thoughts in anticipation of viewing it and then; the disappointment!

Futurism is by far the best that modern art has to offer.

Me 2

Gaugin told me not to name drop

Thank you for this

"the" most important? maybe "one" of the most important, but there were others (Matisse, Picasso, Pollack, Mondrian etc;) whose work has a far greater following than Duchamp. Heck I'd even give a nod to Edward Hopper as having a bigger following

@@spactick true as far as greater following, i was speaking more on influencing the thought process of other artists, not popularity. certainly there is a long list of more popular or well known.

@@stephenhanson3309 perhaps, but I think a lot of Duchamp's "thought processes" were dead ends. Obviously the intellectual elites that write the reviews in the magazines etc; loved Marcel, but the average museum person get's lost in the translation. A urinal just doesn't have the same appeal with Mr. Jones and his wife and kiddies that a Picasso's "rose period" has. But I'm just guessing. Maybe if ya gold leafed the urinal?

Father is enough no?:)

RU-vid would love to see those videos if you feel like uploading them.

Brilliant! Thank you.

No man ill just take a huge rocket shit

Piss is a fluid readymade.

Warhol was notorious for taking artists in, only to steal their concepts and work. a master manipulator and factually nothing but a thieving marketeer of some sort (which somehow is considered, or mistaken for, by some as being revolutionary). Duchamp however, left the art world for years, taking a job teaching because he felt he couldn't contribute to art in a meaningful way at that moment in his life. that is a fundamental difference in their approach to art. by analyzing and deconstructing their work and careers that becomes painfully obvious.

@@indoor_gangster Well, then we agree for the most part. I have to say that I'm not totally unconvinced that Warhol wasn't just tweaking the noses of the hoi polloi and the art world and quite prescient -- in the future people will pay in the tens and hundreds of millions for garbage "art" like mine because they are vacuous and narcissistic and stupid and culture is dead, art is dead and "humanity" is on it's last leg. The whole crappy Warhol circus and the crappy art was all his commentary on society. "In the future everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes". While a Campbell's soup can will live on in our hearts and minds . . . The rich society women thought they were slumming with him and he thought he was slumming with them. He saw through everything and seemed to have that sociopathic personality type that found it amusing because it didn't hurt his feelings to watch the end of our current civilization play itself off the stage . . . he truly didn't care and as we all know, he loved to watch. Duchamp's last project on the other hand, while being about "watching" was perhaps the ultimate violence and psychological intrusion on his ex-lover. Certainly as malevolent as any of Warhol's pranks (like inviting people over to overdose on heroin as entertainment for rich ladies from the Upper East Side). I think Warhol looked up to Duchamp's great work but also his *time*. Warhol was too late to be a Duchamp. Everything was overexposed and cheap and trashy in his day whereas Duchamp had such a rich cultural landscape on which to play. I think Warhol would laugh to see his soup can on coffee mugs -- that's the joke he was going for precisely. I think of him as a sociologist, comedian, social commentator and philosopher, trickster, court clown and all that is an art. Wow this is long. sorry.

Thank you mane

He lived. His way. Not everybody wants or can get his expression....

Significantly no mention of Fountain, a work almost completely unknown at this point.

As you wrote it wrongly twice - may I correct you? "Elle a chaud au cul."
