Marcel Duchamp
* 1887 in Blainville near Rouen (F), died in 1968 in Paris; training at the Académie Julian, Paris, and first Cubist paintings in 1911; develops then the seminal concept of Readymades; 1917 editor of the magazine «The Blind»; around 1920 experiments with abstract film; collaborates with the Surrealists and organisation of the first large overview on Surrealism in 938; leaves France to move to the USA in 1941. Maybe, in retrospect, the most important avantgarde-artist of the 20th-century, in John Cage's words: «One way to write music: study Duchamp.»
