Book, Marcel Duchamp: engineer of lost time[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. It was in Pierre Cabanne's 'Conversations' with Marcel Duchamp, that one of the most fascinating and disconcerting artist-inventor figures of the contemporary avant-garde was willing, for the first time, to comment with greater breadth and relaxation on his actions, his reactions, his feelings and his options, which resulted in a profound and eloquent statement about the vicissitudes of the innovative spirit of advanced art in our century. Thus, this volume of the Debates collection, now reissued, constitutes an important contribution that fills a biographical rarefaction felt by scholars and teachers, as they wish to analyze and understand the multiple and paradoxical creation and personality of 'Marcel Duchamp: Engineer of Time Perdido', whose work constitutes a challenge to classical standards of aesthetics and not just an attitude to shock the conservative taste of unwary provincials or prominent bourgeoisie.
