"Fountain" was created during the Dataist movement in the early 20th century. The members of this group were trying to create "anti-art" to challenge what art really is. After learning this, I could understand Fountain a bit better, because it doesn't really seem like art to me! Like the balloon dogs I commented on before this, they do not fit into the idea of a beautiful piece of art. When I think of art, I see a beautiful scene that was drawn or a painting of a beautiful person. Not a blow-up dog or a urinal!!!
