	Marcel Duchamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duchamp removed the work from the exhibition entirely, and, in 1913, it went on to create a scandal at the Armory Show in New York City instead; it also spawned dozens of parodies in the years that followed.
		Marcel Duchamp died on October 2, 1968 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France and is buried in the Rouen Cemetery, in Rouen, Normandy, France.
		Duchamp assembled the first readymade, a bicycle wheel mounted on a stool entitled Bicycle Wheel (1913), the same time as his Nude Descending A Staircase was attracting the attention of critics at the International Exhibition of Modern Art.

	Marcel Duchamp - MSN Encarta
		Born in Blainville, Duchamp enjoyed a comfortable childhood in a family unusually sympathetic to the arts: his grandfather was an engraver, and three of his five siblings (Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Jacques Villon, and Suzanne Valadon) became artists.
		Duchamp himself was painting in an impressionist style by the age of 15, adopting a more vibrantly colorful fauvist style by the age of 20.
		Duchamp was unfazed by the criticism, having already set himself in opposition to all art that he referred to as retinal because he felt it appealed to the eyes alone.

	WashingtonPost.com: Duchamp: A Biography
		This element, which Duchamp identifies variously as the Halo of the Bride, the Top Inscription, the Milky Way, and the Cinematic Blossoming, is not something that emanates from the bride but is the bride herself, represented "cinematically" at the moment of her blossoming, which is also the moment of her being stripped bare.
		Duchamp does not say: it is "given." All we know is that at a certain moment the gas, having filled the hollow moulds, escapes from openings at the top of each one and enters the Capillary Tubes, which run horizontally from each mould's summit to a point of convergence just underneath the first Sieve.
		Duchamp even acquired a female identity at one point, the blithe and somewhat scandalous Rrose Selavy, who signed a number of their joint works; it was as though, in his quest for complete freedom, Duchamp did not feel obliged to limit himself to the confines of a single sex.

	DJ SPOOKY that subliminal kid
		Composed in 1913, Duchamp's "Erratum Musical" is based on a whole schemata of mistakes, errors, and mis-steps in a family situation.
		Like all of Duchamps work it was personal and impersonal - industrial culture's absorbtion of almost all "indviduality" into seamless expression of individual choice amongst the varied options left in a world of pre-fabricated identities and emotions.
		It wasn't published or exhibited during Duchamp's life, but the implications are clear - he wanted to invoke a sense of convergence between art and the random processes, the "generative syntaxes," of the imagination as it speaks to a world made of industrial processes.

		Duchamp began his career as a Cubist but was uncomfortable with the genre.
		However, Duchamp was deeply suspicious of the movement: he considered it too fixated on dubious formalism, too precious and dear.
		Cubism was becoming a technique and a movement, and if one thing remained consistent throughout Duchamp’s career, it was his hatred of contrived consistency, of art movements turning inwards towards themselves and becoming complacent about their reason for being.

		Duchamp's name is well known and highly regarded within the inner circles of art and art institutions, although he is less known in more peripheral, art-interested circles.
		Duchamp was also originally a painter and, like Picasso, he went on a pilgrimage through diverse idioms of modernism's many '-isms' of painting.
		Instead of abstracting himself from the motif, as the majority of Duchamp's fellow painters were doing, Duchamp abstracted himself from the ground plane of painting, and thus from art in its traditional sense.

	Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp (text)
		Duchamp’s work is characterized by its humor, the variety and unconventionality of its media, and its incessant probing of the boundaries of art.
		Marcel Duchamp was born in 1887, in a town in northwestern France.
		Duchamp had painted the title along the bottom edge of his painting, like a caption, which certainly reinforced their impression of his comic intent.

	Nude Descending A Staircase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 - 2 October 1968) was a French painter and theorist, a major proponent of DADA, and one of the most influential figures of avant-garde 20th-century art.
		Duchamp's ready-mades are ordinary objects that are signed and titled, becoming aesthetic, rather than functional, objects simply by this change in context.
		In 1915, Duchamp moved to New York City, where he was befriended by Louise and Walter Arensberg and their circle of artists and poets, which constituted New York Dada.

		However, Duchamp uses it as a non-referential surface upon which some of the isolated components, such as the chocolate grinder and the glider, are shown with painstakingly convincing perspective.
		Duchamp invents the working parts of these two sexual machines, which are as arbitrary and absurd as the machinery of Roussel which inspired them.
		Duchamp calls them "malic molds" ("malic" for "male"), assigns professions to them in then- "cemetery of uniforms and liveries" and says they are to be filled with illuminating gas.

	Marcel Duchamp's Readymades: Walking on Infrathin Ice
		Duchamp described the atmosphere in New York at that time as bustling with activity, "but it was limited to a relatively small group and nothing was done very publicly."6 For him, the art of this time was "laboratory work."7 Duchamp was experimenting, moving away from painting and working on the readymades.
		For Duchamp, Dada was not only an extreme protest against the physical side of painting, but a metaphysical attitude.9 Duchamp referred to Dada as an invigorating "blank force," which offered artists a way to purge their minds of art historical cliches, a way to negate everything past, present, and future.
		Duchamp separated the notion of taste from the "aesthetic experience" because for him, the aesthetic experience was itself the art, a collaboration of sorts between the artist and viewer.

		Duchamp's Chocolate Grinder was reproduced on the cover of the first issue of The Blind Man, his witty perfume flask Belle Haleine bearing on its neck a photograph of Duchamp dressed up as his alter ego Rrose Sélavy on the cover of the only issue of New York Dada [see Figure 11]..
		Duchamp's readymades (as in readymade clothes), we have been told again and again, were ordinary mass-produced, machine-made objects, arbitrarily chosen by Duchamp with no consideration "for good or bad taste," and designated as "art works" so as to debunk the very concept of individual art making.
		Duchamp referred to it as "a pleasant gadget, pleasant for the movement it gave." He found it restful and comforting, he told Calvin Tompkins, to turn the wheel and watch the spokes blur, become invisible, then slowly reappear as it slowed down--the image of a circle that turns endlessly on its own axis.

	Mona Lisa Images for a Modern World - 12
		Duchamp uses the innate worthlessness of the mass media to create aesthetically significant works that have no economic value (as least as far as his intention is concerned).
		If Duchamp's Mona is posed as a political image mediating high and low, and as a self-consciously created milestone -- as a "key monument" for the history of art -- it also has human biographical and auto-biographical dimensions.
		While Duchamp's image is obviously the progenitor of all those images, such as Warhol's which revel in popular and commercial styles, it also suggests forms by which the biographical and sexual dimensions could be expressed.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		Duchamp refused to accept the standards and practices of an established art system, conventions that were considered essential to attain fame and financial success: he refused to repeat himself, to develop a recognizable style or to show his work regularly.
		Duchamp painted very little after 1915, although he continued until 1923 to work on his masterpiece, La mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même, an abstract work, also known in another version as The Large Glass, composed in oil and wire on glass.
		As for its metaphysical aspect, Duchamp's voluminous preparatory notes, published in 1934, reveal that his "hilarious picture" is intended to diagram the erratic progress of an encounter between the "Bride," in the upper panel, and her nine "Bachelors" gathered timidly below amidst a wealth of mysterious mechanical apparatus.

		With Duchamp's approval and assistance, these notes were subsequently ordered and translated into English by a number of scholars.
		For this reason, it is necessary that the notes be displayed within a reasonable physical proximity to the glass itself (or to one of the three reconstructions that were made of it), as well as to various related studies.
		Although Duchamp wanted his notes for the Large Glass to be made available to the general public, he did not attempt to impose an ordering system on them (in both The Green Box and A l'Infinitif, the notes are presented in an intentionally random sequence).

		In 1911, Marcel Duchamp, the great iconoclast of 20th-century art, was still adhering to the conventions of easel painting, formal composition, narrative structure, and individual inspiration.
		The Guggenheim drawing was produced late in the sequence, perhaps between the execution of the two canvases, given that its shades of green and tan watercolor relate to the palette of the latter painting.
		For Duchamp, who would soon devote himself to playing chess exclusively and only intermittently producing conceptual work involving readymades, linguistic strategies, and mechanistic imagery, chess was the perfect art form in that it engaged one’s “gray matter” rather than one’s retina.

		Born on July 28, 1887, in Blainville, brother of the artist Raymond Duchamp-Villon and half brother of the painter Jacques Villon, Duchamp began to paint in 1908.
		He painted very little after 1915, although he continued until 1923 to work on his masterpiece, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1923, Philadelphia Museum of Art), an abstract work, also known as The Large Glass, composed in oil and wire on glass, that was enthusiastically received by the surrealists.
		After his short creative period, Duchamp was content to let others develop the themes he had originated; his pervasive influence was crucial to the development of surrealism, Dada, and pop art.

	The Case of Duchamp and Poincaré / Symposium Articles
		(In so doing, we presume, Duchamp wished to expose the foibles of art critics and historians by showing that he could so alter their most famous icon, and they would not notice so long as he distracted them by an outrageous graffito and a plausible Dada claim for why he had done so).
		Duchamp festooned at least 12 other versions of the Mona Lisa throughout his career, all presumably as part of a plan for hinting toward his intentions, and displaying the power of tiny alterations on general themes (if only we could free our mind of expectations, and learn to observe closely).
		Interestingly, Duchamp did not exhibit the original 1919 work in public until 1930, when he posted both versions, side by side, in a gallery, perhaps as a dare or a challenge.

		The first picture in which Duchamp expressly tried to represent motion was Sad Young Man in a Train (1911), whose four or five successive profiles jolting across the canvas from left to right suggest the image of a passenger on a moving train.
		Duchamp's continuing interest in motion and optics led him in 1935 to produce a set of six round cardboard disks that he called Rotoreliefs.
		At rest, the disks appeared to be stamped with an abstract design, but when they were placed on a phonograph turntable and revolved, each design gave the illusion of a three-dimensional object--champagne glass, boiled egg in a cup, et cetera.

	Duchamp with Water Mill Within Glider (Getty Museum)
		As Man Ray told it in his autobiography, one day in 1915 the French artist Marcel Duchamp appeared at the door of his house, and despite a language barrier the two artists quickly recognized one another as kindred spirits.
		In 1917 Duchamp made The Water Mill Within Glider, a painting on glass now at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as a study for his work Large Glass of 1915 to 1923.
		An inscription on the back of the print indicates that the image of the sculpture was cut out of the photographic print by Duchamp, who trimmed away the background of the studio, then turned the picture vertically to make it seem as though he were bracing the glass.
