Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist which is probably what the USGS surveyors thought when they got to the top of Mount Disappointment and found out it wasn't the highest peak in the area as they thought.

Duchamp's Fountain challenged the very nature of art and introduced the idea of conceptual art. Magritte's The Treachery of Images is a surrealist masterpiece that explores the different between what is real and what is art. The Treachery of Urinals is an art mash-up that brings these two challenging pieces together. The text, Ceci n'est pas un fontaine (This is not a Fountain), questions what the image is. In Magritte's original Treachery, the pipe was not a pipe, it was a picture of a pipe. However Duchamp's Fountain was not a fountain but a urinal that was turned onto its side and called a fountain. So not only is it not a fountain but an image of a fountain but the it not an image of a fountain either.
