Form v. Content


The work above is "Fountain" from 1917 by Marcel Duchamp and it is a "sculpture." The form of this work is a urinal with a name and date painted on it. The content associated with this artwork is the idea that Duchamp had that anything could be art simply because he deemed it to be. As such, he turned this simple urinal into a controversial piece of art.
