academic paragraph please give me some advice and correction to this piece. Duchamp’s work plays a role as an “integral part of the sociopolitical construction of society” and the readymade is “free of …hierarchical value.” However, it seems that the capitalism subconsciously influences him. For example, Duchamp used the money from art pieces selling to travel to the United States, at a time when the ordinary people were unable to understand his work and the “elite group of wealthy, culturally interested Americans were hungry for the European break with academic and traditional art”. Another instance is that he made the sign of ‘R. Mutt’ on the base of the Fountain, which means “moneybags” in French and Richard who is the manufacturer of the urinal. This manufacturer wish to make payment to exhibit the product. From these two examples, it might suggest that Dada was somehow involved in the mind of bourgeois, while not entirely as it stated “from the very beginning… the Dadaists showed a seriousness of purpose and a search for new vision and content that went beyond any frivolous desire to outrage the bourgeoisie”.
