Dada - On Marcel Duchamp and François Rabelais T2 - L’Année rabelaisienne 2020, n° 4. varia JO - L’Année rabelaisienne (ISSN 2554-9111), 4, 2020 DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-406-10343-1.p.0349 SN - 2554-9111 SP - 349 EP - 362 AB - The starting point of this discussion is a comparison (“The life of an artist is like the life of a monk, of an obscene monk, if you like, it’s very Rabelaisian”), which leads from the comment “It’s an ordination” to “Dada is a spirit.” It was in 1959 that this point of transmission, by allusion to Rabelais’s work, and even to Rabelais as an individual, became explicit in the work of Duchamp, who at the time was involved in the Dada movement in the United States and in France. This article pursues the connections made by this discussion.
