Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) was a French-American artist associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art. He is best known for inventing the readymade, in which everyday objects are designated as works of art, most famously his 1917 piece Fountain, a porcelain urinal signed R. Mutt. His work challenged conventional definitions of art and its creation, influencing later movements including Pop art and conceptual art.
