see Marcel Dumcamp's fountain below...

That would be Marcel Duchamp, not Dumcamp

Duchamp was a member of the Dadaist movement, one of who's aims were to ridicule the snobbery of the art intelligensia. They were nihilists and anarchists.

That piece of work you highlighted was a "piss take" in more than one sense.

I know how to spell Duchamp but I do not type well - especially when working fast and my proof reading is not always up to snuff either. Your post to me had me go back and look to see if I actually made that kind of egregious typo and to my horror you are right.
