Two of the most dynamic minds in art history-Leonardo da Vinci and Marcel Duchamp-are separated by almost five hundred years. Mirror Image: Marcel Duchamp and Leonardo da Vinci brings these visionaries together in this groundbreaking publication by Donald Shambroom, accompanying an exhibition at Sean Kelly, New York. Mirror Image follows Duchamp through Paris, Munich, and New York to Renaissance Italy via the writings of Leonardo and into an artistic practice that would change art as we know it. This volume uncovers da Vinci's unlikely yet undeniable influence on Duchamp's revolutionary practice through comparisons of da Vinci's texts and Duchamp's notes alongside visual analyses of their works, offering a new narrative connecting two titans of art.
