Marcel Duchamp's Fountain

Dada is Art
Dada is ???????

No real history of Dadaism is 
meant to be here, on this blog.
However, this "Ready Made" is called by some,
"the most influential piece of art of the 20th century".
With this, and the bicycle wheel on a stool, Duchamp
excited and insulted and inspired and depressed
the established art world. 
His work, especially this urinal, caused arguements and disent among 
"The Independents", his own group.  
Every move Duchamp made up-set the artistic
apple cart.  
He opened the first doors to all kinds of artistic
wackiness that we love and hate to this day.
