An Old Genre Is Given A New Look, As Portraits And Selfportraits Of Marcel Duchamp Invent And Cover Up As Much As They Reveal And Portray.One Of The Most Influential Artists Of The Twentieth Century, Marcel Duchamp (18871968) Was A Master Of Selfinvention Who Carefully Regulated The Image He Projected Through Selfportraiture And Through His Collaboration With Those Who Portrayed Him. During His Long Career, Duchamp Recast Accepted Modes For Assembling And Describing Identity, Indelibly Altering The Terrain Of Portraiture. This Groundbreaking Book (Which Accompanies A Major Exhibition At The Smithsonian Institution'S National Portrait Gallery) Demonstrates The Ways In Which Duchamp Willfully Manipulated The Techniques Of Portraiture Both To Secure His Reputation As An Iconoclast And To Establish Himself As A Major Figure In The Art World. Although Scholars Have Explored Duchamp'S Use Of Aliases, Little Attention Has Been Paid To How This Work Played Into, And Against, Existing Portrait Conventions. Nor Has Any Study Yet Compared These Explicitly Selfconstructed Projects With The Large Body Of Portraits Of Duchamp By Others. Inventing Marcel Duchamp Showcases Approximately One Hundred Neverbeforeassembled Portraits And Selfportraits Of Duchamp. The (Broadly Defined) Selfportraits And Selfrepresentations Include The Famous Autobiographical Suitcase Boteenvalise And Selfportrait In Profile, A Torn Silhouette That Became Very Influential For Future Generations Of Artists. The Portraits By Other Artists Include Works By Duchamp'S Contemporaries Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Francis Picabia, Beatrice Wood, And Florine Stettheimer As Well As Portraits By More Recent Generations Of Artists, Including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Sturtevant, Yasumasa Morimura, David Hammons, And Douglas Gordon. Since The Midtwentieth Century, As Abstraction Assumed A Position Of Dominance In Fine Art, Portraiture Has Been Often Derided As An Art Form; The Images And Essays In Inventing Marcel Duchamp Counter This, And Invite Us To Rethink The Role Of Portraiture In Modern And Contemporary Art.
