• The public and the definition of the work

Marcel Duchamp
Fountain, ready-made, 1917
J. Kosuth, Art after philosophy, (1969) :
« All art (after Duchamp) isconceptual (in nature) becauseart only exists conceptually »

LHOOQ
• Reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drew a moustache and a goatee and appended a title
• Only visual?• Disctinction– Internal/external form (J. Kohler, Germany)– Composition/expression (H. Desbois, France)
• Literary work : idea->composition->expression• Visual art : composition merge with expression
![Page 8: Duchamp, the public and the expression of a work of ...LHOOQ • Reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drewa moustache and a goatee and appendeda title](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042003/5e6ea2496f819d03b93d954a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
LHOOQ
• Work of art involving a conceptual aspect : composition = expression ?
• Composition more important than expression
• I. Cherpillod, L’objet du droit d’auteur (1985) : « by reducing a concrete work to a generalstatement, the originality diminish. (…) the result of this abstraction process is the workbecoming an unprotected idea »– From expression to idea -> apply to LHOOQ

LHOOQ
L.A.1.2.C.Q. = L.H.O.O.Q.
![Page 15: Duchamp, the public and the expression of a work of ...LHOOQ • Reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drewa moustache and a goatee and appendeda title](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042003/5e6ea2496f819d03b93d954a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Subjectivity ?
• No subjectivity : relative accessibility– Ex. litterary works
![Page 18: Duchamp, the public and the expression of a work of ...LHOOQ • Reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drewa moustache and a goatee and appendeda title](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042003/5e6ea2496f819d03b93d954a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Public and conceptual art
• Public necessary to define the composition (much more important than expression)
• The expression sensu lato of the work isdepending on the public
• Expression : what can be perceived– > considering the one who’s perceiving
