In the twentieth century, works of art and objects tend to overlap in many ways. A first path begins with the cubist collage, which no longer aims to represent reality, but to "present" itself as reality. This path goes from Duchamp’s ready-mades, through to the Nouveau Realisme, and arrives at a fusion of art and life. The second path starts from Kandinsky’s "Great Realism", De Chirico’s Metaphysical Painting, and Surrealist painters and arrives at the New Dada. Here the work of art reveals an alterity that exorcizes the anonymity of the commodity object.

Keywords: Anthropology, Collage, New Dada, Mass Culture, Object, XXth Century Art.
