The point of Fountain was to say that whether something is art should depend on the content and its absurd that a urinal could be considered art.

But the art isn’t in the content, it was in the statement it was making about the absurdity surrounding the fact you could pay to put anything in an art exhibition. Swap out the white urinal for a blue one, it’s the same point.
