Yeah, modern art seems like it's being weird just for the sake of being weird. Like when Marcel Duchamp went to buy some plumbing in 1917 and farted out a "masterwork". (Lightning round art fact!!)
What you are looking at here is an art piece "by" Marcel Duchamp called The Fountain. I use the quotation marks because Duchamp didn't actually make this sculpture. The Fountain is just a plain old ordinary urinal that he found, turned it on its side, and put on a pedestal. The only modification on it is the signature done in sharpie.
It was submitted to the first exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in New York City, which Duchamp was a board member. The exhibition's organizers touted the show as revolutionary, with a policy of accepting literally everything so long as an instillation fee was paid. As a co-founder of the Society of Independent Artists, Duchamp had helped to get this rule enacted. But he had doubts about how open-minded his fellow artists were. So as a test, he presented a literal piss bucket under the pseudonym R. Mutt, called it art, and dared anyone to reject it. Which they did. One board member was quoted saying:
"The Fountain may be a very useful object in its place, but its place is not in an art exhibition and it is, by no definition, a work of art."
The Fountain was technically accepted by the Society of Independent Artist but it was not displayed in any exhibit, instead it was hidden away in storage. Duchamp didn't like his fellow board member's decision, instead thinking that all art should be accepted and displayed to the public. So he quite the board and the Fountain remained locked away.
But this was not the end of The Fountain however. Sometime later, it was photographed at Alfred Stieglitz's studio and the photo published in the second issue of the The Blind Man, a highly regarded art publication at the time. They heard the story surrounding the Fountain and they called the move a bold stance against art elitists and a challenge to the status of art authorities and their bias for tradition. The Blind Man stated:
"Whether Mr. Mutt with his own hands made the fountain has no importance. He CHOSE it. He took an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view – created a new thought for that object."
The Fountain was never publicly shown. There exist some replicas made by Duchamp but the original was lost or discarded over time. But that didn't stop it from being voted the most influential artwork of the 20th century by a panel of 500 art experts in 2004. It is now the subject of a comprehensive exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In November 1999, a version of Fountain was sold for $1,762,500 to a rich investment broker who declared that Fountain represented 'the origin of contemporary art'.
Though to be completely honest, despite its interesting history, I still think it's just a piss bucket.
Ah, the infamous Fountain!
While I wouldn't normally consider this art, the fact that it was quite deliberately used to make a profound statement, one which still deeply resonates and divides, makes this piece art in my book.
If you think I'm wrong, fite me!!
(Also, is it ironic that I'm typing this from the toilet?

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but I'll fight you anyway.

Thank you.Oooh, real awesome pieces TR!!
And now for a quick FACT!
The word 'Silhouette' is derived from the name Étienne de Silhouette, the French finance minister during 1795. He was forced to institute sever economic restrictions because of the credit crisis faced by France after the Seven Year War. His name became synonymous with cut-price and things done on the cheap. About the same time these cut-outs (the originals were usually black card on a white background) were the cheapest way to capture someone's likeness before the invention of the camera.

You know exactly why I'm jumpy whenever you mention turning me into something. Don't play coy, mister.
I'll take a picture when it's done.Careful...or I might just turn you into a piece of 'art'

I'll just keep talking unless somebody else posts. How about a limerick?
I didn't write this one though. It was performed on the Johnny Carson show one night by Charlton Heston. He did it with a deadpan voice and expression.
There once was a man with a hernia.
Who said to the doc, "Now Gol durn ya."
"When fixing my middle, be sure you don't fiddle,
With matters that do not concern ya!"

Well, I don't remember you being on the Predator side during December and January.You've played on our side once! I just stay loyal to the side that wins rarely. It's way more fun to have a challenge rather than winning 9 of 10 games
Besides, as a Metalhead, I know the feeling of being in a minority. So I'll always support minorities rather than normies
We are furries! We are anything but normies!
We are already a minority!
