Book Description
Marcel Duchamp's 1912 Munich trip provided the evidence for the interest he had in his use of string, thread and cloth throughout his career. The artistic patterns that emerged in his work connect him with earlier artistic traditions. Davis gives us an unusual view of Duchamp's interests and offers a continuity within which we may perceive his work. An early drawing referencing a sewing machine provides the key to much of Duchamp's creative habits.
