10. Marcel Duchamp
Marcel Duchamp’s daring readymades—most famously, the urinal titled Fountain—radically redefined what could be considered art. By presenting ordinary objects as masterpieces, Duchamp shattered expectations and sparked the revolutionary Dadaist and conceptual art movements. His irreverent approach questioned authorship, creativity, and the role of the artist. Duchamp’s influence remains profound, challenging each new generation to break the rules and rethink the very nature of artistic expression.
