Features: This art history essay collection gathers the author's research and reflections on Western modern art during her 16 years in the United States. This research is primarily achieved through an understanding of Duchamp's ideas. Duchamp is a key that not only opens the door to comprehending Western postmodern art but, more importantly, opens a door to understanding life. Therefore, whether the essays directly study Duchamp or analyze other Western artists or phenomena, they all explore a central theme: how to achieve spiritual freedom through art and transform life into art.
