In 1957 Marcel Duchamp said of creativity,
- The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. --Marcel Duchamp, from Session on the Creative Act, Convention of the American Federation of Arts, Houston, Texas, April 1957.
The famous speech at the Round Table in April 5 th, 1957 was published in Writings of Marcel Duchamp, op. cit., pg. 138 ff.)
The essay cites T.S. Eliot's Tradition and Individual Talent: ‘The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates; the more perfectly will the mind digest and transmute the passions which are its material.’
