Marcel Duchamp: The Afternoon Interviews by Calvin Tomkins

Tomkins grants us a never-before-seen glimpse into the life of the talented, controversial artist Marcel Duchamp. Over the course of several years, Tomkins developed a friendship with Duchamp that transcended the journalist- subject relationship, and this bred familiarity and ease between the two conversationally. As a result, we readers see Duchamp discussing profound and mundane aspects of his life and career. These discussions build a greater understanding of his works by adding components, piece by piece, to his artistic thought process and his desire to engage in what he called “slow work” (p. 44). He took time to create his art, had a sense of humor about it, and was acutely aware of the fields of perspective and psychoanalysis (p.54-65). Ultimately, he participated in and spearheaded multiple genre shifts with Cubism, Dadaism, conceptual art, and what he lovingly called “readymades” (p.51).
