Richard Hamilton in the reflection of Marcel Duchamp

Richard Hamilton, the father of Pop Art, devoted his life to the work of another major artist, Marcel Duchamp, the inventor of ready-made.
An enigmatic, strange work, possibly one of the most complex works in the history of 20th-century art, lies at the core of this unique dialogue: The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even by Marcel Duchamp, also known as The Large Glass. Richard Hamilton looked into every detail of this work with no attempt to reduce Duchamp’s universe to a single level of understanding. Based on unpublished interviews, this film by Pascal Goblot explores the exceptional relationship between two influential figures of contemporary art.
