- Long, narrow Lake Chelan snakes its way almost 50 miles northwest through the foothills of the Cascades. The lake measures only about one to two miles wide, but at almost 1,500 feet deep it is the third deepest freshwater lake in the United States. The lake’s crystal clear waters and its long shoreline offer every type of recreational activity imaginable: hiking, boating, fishing, swimming, biking, golf, fine dining, wine tasting, and lodging. Lake Chelan is a vacationing paradise! The lake itself is stunning, bright blue waters are surrounded by steep forested slopes. While enjoying the lake, take some time to appreciate its geologic story—were it not for the vast continental glaciers of the last ice age, none of this breath-taking scenery would exist.
- Marcel Duchamp (Wikipedia)
Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp (UK: /ˈdjuːʃɒ̃/, US: /djuːˈʃɒ̃, djuːˈʃɑːmp/, French: [maʁsɛl dyʃɑ̃]; 28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968) was a French painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art. He is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture. He has had an immense impact on 20th- and 21st-century art, and a seminal influence on the development of conceptual art. By the time of World War I, he had rejected the work of many of his fellow artists (such as Henri Matisse) as “retinal”, intended only to please the eye. Instead, he wanted to use art to serve the mind.
