Content:
My main aims in writing this book have been to understand Marcel Duchamp's career in a way that makes it more coherent, unified, and, I hope, more broadly meaningful than existing treatments allow, and through Duchamp to clarify certain features of the avant-garde and of modern cultural history more generally. What makes it possible to pursue these goals at the same time is Duchamp's exemplary participation in certain large questions that have been central both to modern experience and to modernist movements. These questions cluster around the relations between personality and impersonality, between the heightened experience of individuality and the intensified sense of anonymity that artists, like the rest of us, experience and need to confront under modern conditions.
