However, this would have been the smallest of art-historical footnotes had Duchamp not then gone on to do the rest of the things he did, and we put it in the art history textbooks because of its (minor) place in one of the most ground-breaking modern artists' development and career. It's worth remembering that Michelangelo was also breaking a lot of rules, and was something of a rebel within the context of his time. His talent also developed within a context -- the same amazing guy, born 400 years earlier or later, would have been making a very different kind of art.
