Some 50 years after the death of Marcel Duchamp, a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW shows why his work continues to challenge the very idea of what art may be.
In the early 20th century, two families of collectors brought the best of modern French art to Russia. Many of their paintings - including works by Picasso, Matisse and Cezanne - can now be seen in Sydney.
Dominated by women and colour, the Art Gallery of NSW's latest exhibition displays the kind of art once regarded by the establishment as too decorative, writes Joanna Mendelssohn.
