Original Copy: Duchamp

Read "Contstantin Brancusi: The Studio as Groupe Mobile and the Photos Radieuses" in Original Copy
Notes: Page 85, Rodin never took photos but collected them and had his progress documented.
Page 86: Reverse left/right image with two images printed together. Time exposures at night.
Page 98: Brancusi Studio is like a sculpture.
"Why write? Why not just show photographs?".
Page 98: "Highly composed,  his pictures make visible that which is not immediately perceptible".

Also "Marcel Duchamp's Box in a Valise: The Readymade as Reproduction".
Notes: Page 116 shows the Stieglitz photo from which all reproductions of "The Fountain" were made.
Page 115: Dawn Ades observes "simultaneously recognizing the fundamental change that photography made to the work of art, now endlessly repeatable and thus bereft of its 'aura' of unique presence.
