Duchamp has captured movement. The figure crosses the painting, this mmovement allows the eye to travel with ease across the canvas. It is an abstract depiction of a nude subject decending a staircase and a beautiful and unique one at that. With any abstract piece come an opinion, a vision and value in the artists ideas and thoughts. It is stylized therefor no one can copy it, no one can perfectly replicate a personal style or opinion, because every opinion is unique (i believe that this adds value). Artists with opinions and different visions from the rest show another side to the world and this is valuable and interesting for the viewer.
movement captured
Duchamps style is geometric, cubic and done in dense developed layers. One wonders how he has created sush shapes, the canvas hops soft movements accompanied by bold geometric shapes. It is a balanced composition throughout the canvas, with a mixture of swift stokes and sharpe complete shapes. It is an interesting piece full of quuestion in his process which layers came first, such a fluid compostion to create this moving beauty. A piece that provides a visual you can explore and wonder about... mind bogling.
This piece holds futurist styles of it's time (1912). The major style of this time was cubo-expressionism. most deffinitally influenced by his fellow arts of his time, picasso and georges Braque the style was depicted in both mediums of painting and sculpture. it depicted movement in music and literature. This style lead to the surrealist movement. Artists were recording their opions in a modern manner, full of opinion creating new-age, untraditional and unconventional images. Radical artists.
Ambiguous space and shapes that one was left to interpret. This piece holds vast opinion therefore holding unmeasurable value in society.

I like your the fact that you said every artist has their own unique idea and no one can copy that. that's true about a lot of things
i really like this post. you really added a lot of nice, thoughtful details. i like how you explained what a viewer would see, and how you used a lot of detail to paint a picture in an onlookers mind. keep it up!
i agree with your other two comments...a very thoughtful post, especially about how unique vision is valuable to our world. is it possible for what looks unique to actually be what's in fashion? how do we decide what is unique?
