Duchamps wanted to demonstrate that before us are regular items that on their own or together can be mated into art, hence "readymade."

Basquait was hardly 4-years-old, but rather a homeless genius in the '80s who revolutionized political art.

Whether or not one can "do" what these individuals have done is not at all the point, or even one of the points.

If you view Duchamps, in person, your mind literally twists your mind into thinking about items at your fingertips and how the mundane can become art with the slightest provocation.

Basquait gives you honesty and horror at once as his writings and drawings speak in a social timelessness that will always apply to the world as long as we have:

1) Sex
2) Make money
3) Engage ourselves politically.

All I'm saying is there's more than meets the idea with the first glance.
