The Blind Man

"The blind man" and "rongwrong" were part of a network of little magazines that introduced audiences to Dada and avant-garde movements in art and literature. They featured contributions of poetry, prose, and visual art by Mina Loy, Louise Norton, Robert Carlton Brown, Erik Satie, Walter Arensberg, Francis Picabia, Alfred Stieglitz, and others. "The blind man" was the first print publication to circulate an image of Duchamp's "Fountain" (photographed by Stieglitz) after its rejection from the first annual exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, presenting a public challenge to the accepted definition of art during this time.
