What Was The Difference Between Stein And Duchamp
Abstract Thoughts
The mentality behind the Cubist painter was to reject the work of artists who made what society wanted to view as art. Instead of painting for the basics of conventional art, Cubist painters used shapes and formed movement from placing objects in different angles to create a completely new artistic perspective. Gertrude Stein, a modernist writer of the 20th century, rejected the expectations of a society that required writing to represent the speech of language.

Because Duchamp included various occurring phases, color combinations, and angles in the painting, these images of what a staircase should appear to be are not found in the painting. Seeing the staircase is only seen by using the idea of constant movement, and the combination of colors to provide support for the visual construction of a humanz and a wooden staircase. Duchamp used various techniques to provide a base from which the audience can then self-construct an image for the painting as its own entity without any type of concrete representation of a scene or
