From: art reviews Category: Art Date: 23 April 2008 Time: 02:18 PM Review: Voyage to the temple of doom. It all looks so OLD. Whimsy by white MEN in suits. Maybe it was shocking at the time/ maybe it wasn't. Picabia, loved by every young male painter, for the reason that he did some nudey pictures which are MUCH worse in reality, just not that clever or cool. Duchamp only gets it going for his dirty peephole piece recreated here, sexual violence keeps its frisson. Man Ray nice name, forgettable art. Nice stroll through artefacts.
