'Mr Mutt's fountain is not immoral, that is absurd, no more than a bathtub is immoral. It is a fixture that you see everyday in plumbers shop windowss. Whether Mr Mutt with his own hands made the fountain has no importance. He chose it. He took an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view - created a new thought for that object.'
'The Richard Mutt Cast', The Blind Man, New York no.2, May 1917
The last sentence of this statement is exactly what I have done with my pallets. The pallet's useful significance has disappeared and under the work title 'Palette and Pallet', there is now a new thought for the object.
