TATE modern - M.Duchamp, M.Ray, F.Picabia



In one of my favored Art Museums - the Tate Modern in London - is a quite good representative exhibition featuring Marcel Duchamps (1887 - 1968), Man Ray (1890 - 1976) and Francis Picabia (1879 - 1953) that will last till the 26th May 2008.

May be the most known of the trio is Duchamps because of his readymades.

I personaly often prefere Picabia to Duchamp. Man Ray I only knew by name before this exhibition but now I have to admit that I like his work because its often sarcastic and critics the philistine way of live. All the tree of them often reference to erotic topics but not in a pornographic way more in a sarcastic.

As more than agree with the DADA movement there for Picabias and Duchamps early work period is very interesting to me. I am not very shure if the two where already in the DADA movement in Zurich but at least when DADA expanded to Paris they must have joined the movement.
