Without discussion, this object disappeared and was never exhibited.What were the grounds for refusing Mr Mutt's fountain:-1. Some contended it was immoral, vulgar.2. Others that is was plagiarism, a plain piece of plumbing.Now Mr Mutt's fountain is not immoral, that is absurd, no more than a bathtub is absurd. It is a fixture which you see every day in plumbers' show windows.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Whether Mr Mutt made the fountain with his own hands or not has no importance. He CHOSE it. He took an article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view - created a new thought for that object.<br /><strong><a href="http://arthist.binghamton.edu/duchamp/fountain.html">http://arthist.binghamton.edu/duchamp/fountain.html</a></strong></span><strong> </strong><br /><strong>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------</strong><br /><strong>Other Conceptual Artworks:</strong><br /><br />Piero Manzoni – for him, individuality itself became art in real time, expressing “being and living.’’ <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ricoj0oqXTw/S2Ki9PUFiII/AAAAAAAAAMA/qT93a6YMGq0/s1600-h/slide0039_image048.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432083273528739970" style="FLOAT: right;

Danto said in "Embodied Meanings" (1994)<br /><br />"Until one tries to write about it, the work of art remains a soft of aesthetic blur... After seeing the work, write about it. You cannot be satisfied for very long in simply putting down what you felt. You have to go further" (p.14)<br /><br /><br />The Function of Critical Writing:<br /><br />"1. Introduce me to authors or works of which I was hitherto unaware.<br />2. Convince me that I have undervalued an author or a work because I had not read them carefully enough<br />3. Show me relations between works of different ages and cultures which I could never have seen for myself because I do not know enough and never shall.<br />4. Give a "reading " of a work which increases my understanding of it.<br />5. Throw light upon the process of artistic "Making"<br />6. Throw light upon the relation of art to life, to science, economics, ethics, religion etc."<br /><br />by W.H.
