Abstract
Is art tired? Has the art represented by the painting we perceive tired at least once? In her dissertation "Mind of Hand", Mária Danielová states that Blériot's plane was exhibited at the honorary site of the Exposition de la locomotion aérienne in Paris in 1912. Fernand Léger recalls how he was in charge of installing the Autumn Salon and contrasting dark gray screens. and nearby before the opening of the installed air showroom.
Marcel Duchamp, Constantine Brancusi and Fernand Léger met there at that time. With Marcel Duchamp, a material object emerges from the painting.
The rejection of Nude Descending and Staircase led Marcel Duchamp to decide to stop painting and start looking for or inventing a new language. Anti-painting (as André Breton called it), created between 1915-1923, really became a work that "went beyond the physical side of the painting".
The genesis of The Large Glass, its fate and reach is unimaginable. He was impressed by the acts of Lucas Cranach, but also by the thoughts of Wassil Kandinsky from his just published book Über das Geistige in der Kunst.
Why are so many returns to the past being born in the new art? Ernst Hans Gombrich says that the most important transformations of art and the most significant innovations in art were born by a return to the very distant past.
