Duchamp defended _Fountain_ in an unsigned article in _The Blind Man_, a one-shot magazine published by his friend Beatrice Wood.  To the charge that _Fountain_ was mere plagiarism, "a plain piece of plumbing," he replied "Whether Mr. Mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance.  He CHOSE it.  He took an ordinary article of life, place it so its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view - created a new thought for that object."
