A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Marcel Duchamp found humor in his artwork, which was absent from much American art in the early 20th century but present in many Dada works.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true. Marcel Duchamp found humor in his artwork, which was absent from much American art in the early 20th century but present in many Dada works.

Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel, created in 1913, is an example of his use of humor in art. The sculpture was made by combining a bicycle wheel and a stool, which were everyday objects.

By redefining art through his Readymades, Duchamp questioned the traditional definition of a work of art and introduced radical ideas about what art could be and who it could be for.
