(Actually I think my favorite thing about The Fountain is that people who don't know its history interpret it backwards: Duchamp wasn't pranking or trolling pretentious gallery curators; the piece was rejected from the exhibition it was submitted to, despite the fact that there was no rules artists had to follow to get displayed other than paying the submission fee.)

@DensetsuNoGomez I really ought to make an Expanding Brain meme about Fountain one of these days.
