Duchamp's art also (arguably) marks the beginning of the transition from modernism to postmodernism - our current era. It's definitely modern, but it has little hints of postmodernism in it. I've never taken an art history class, but I do know of Duchamp, and I do think his name is known by anyone with even a passing curiosity with the world of art. The fact that he's relatively unknown here says a lot about the users of this site: highly knowledgeable folks, whose knowledge is probably much more specialized that they realize.
