I’m in Albuquerque! Stop by! I’ll have Little Dee Books as well as my smiling personality. :)
I tried to avoid making pop references in Little Dee, but Duchamp’s “Fountain” has been around long enough and is important enough in art history that I thought it okay (in his case, though, despite titling it “fountain,” it was a urinal).
Wouldn’t sentient animals create their own art? Seems mildly odd that Vachel is so interested in material intended to comment on the HUMAN condition…
It’s philosphical. He’s philosophical.
Also, there are about half a dozen artists with the last name Sargent. Which one exactly did he mean?
I’m familiar with the Fountain, but who’s R. Mutt?
@Neil, it’s the name Duchamp signed on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_%28Duchamp%29
