question 33

the true artist must defend himself against any assocations with media, advertising, and commercialism

Explanation:

Duchamp's "Fountain" is a readymade, challenging traditional art. The idea that art's most important function is to be easily understood and express ideas goes against Duchamp's concept (his work is often seen as questioning traditional art's purposes, not emphasizing easy understanding).
