Duchamp versus Kandinsky
An Installation with two Fresco Portraits by Fabrizio Ruggiero
Limonaia di Villa La Pietra, New York University, Florence
Duchamp turned art into a philosophical provocation; Kandinsky transformed it into a spiritual revelation.
Marcel Duchamp dismantled the traditional notion of art as craftsmanship and beauty by introducing the readymade.
Wassily Kandinsky believed art to be a spiritual language addressing the soul.
The project Ideas, People, Change was coordinated by Davide Lombardo, NYU Florence.
