"The piss-pot that changed the world" ◆ Watch the Doing English FILM: http://doingenglish.com/film
The 1917 art piece that upset art committees (remade in 1964), was refused by almost all art museums and pissed off art fans every where. This upside-down piss-pot caused outrage across the art world, and it’s fair to say that Duchamp was not a popular man in 1917. Submitted to the Society of independent artists - a group that was supposed to be against the traditional way of choosing exhibition pieces, and said they would accept any art piece without bias. But they rejected it! See things in a new way... art is a transformation of materials into something new and beautiful. What is art? “ready made” - does art have to be made by the artist?
Doing English with Julian is a channel for intermediate and advanced English learners who feel stuck with their English. Whether you're an IT professional, an accountant, a doctor or an artist -- speaking English well will bring opportunities to your life. My goal is to help you find that success.

Yet “The Fountain” literally CHANGED art…
… and is now known as the most influential art piece of the 20th century.
The lesson here is clear.
Fear negativity, and you’ll never do anything great. If Duchamp had worried about what people thought of him, the art world would be very, very different today.
Screw what other people think.
Get on with life.
And do something great with it before it’s over.
