Duchamp to Pop at the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena.

From Dada to Surrealism to Pop Art. A visual connection of the conceptual art of Marcel Duchamp to the modern art of Andy Warhol and his peers.

top- Some of the Rotoreliefs, Optical Discs, 1953 by Duchamp  Made of cardboard and meant to be spun on something like a turntable to see the optical illusion. - Close up of Andy Warhol’s famous Brillo Boxes, 1969

middle- Untitled, 1969 by Wallace Berman.  A verifax collage. Pretty fun to look at up close. (Verifax, early form of a copy machine.)  -In the Manner of Delvaux, 1963 by Duchamp. (Inspired by the surrealist painting L’Aurore, 1937 by Paul Delvaux.) 

middle- Boîte Alerte, 1959 by Duchamp.  I loved these!!  Created for a Surrealist expo in Paris, it was full of letters, telegrams, and postcards by the artists in the show.
