Erratum : " made" instead of "maid" ( BTW That would have appealed to the artist 🤣)

The Readymade

(Personally I wouldn't put those two works in my living room!!!) 😱

R Mutt Fountain 1917

(R Mutt)

The "R": The "R" stood for "Richard." In French slang at that time, "Richard" was a word for a "money-bags" or a rich person. This was his way of making fun of people who spend a lot of money on art.

He bought the urinal from a store called J.L. Mott Iron Works. He changed "Mott" to "Mutt" to make it sound a bit different.

Two years later :

he bought a cheap postcard that had a picture of the Mona Lisa on it. He then drew a mustache and a small beard (a goatee) on her face with a pencil.he made a remake of Mona lisa and called it LHOOQ

The Translation: ( guys pardon my French) "She has a hot butt."
