Question #N771

In the 1920s, the city of Paris was a center for artistic innovation, drawing artists, writers, and musicians from around the globe. The city’s vibrant cultural scene was reflected in the work of several artistic movements, including Surrealism, Dadaism, and Cubism. It is in this context that one can understand the work of the famous French artist, Marcel Duchamp.
