More quotes by Marcel Duchamp
I believe that the artist doesn't know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the artist.
Marcel Duchamp
I'm not at all sure that the concept of the readymade isn't the most important single idea to come out of my work.
Marcel Duchamp
I consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
Marcel Duchamp
Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
It is the spectators who make the pictures.
Marcel Duchamp
The Chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem
Marcel Duchamp
All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.
Marcel Duchamp
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
To all appearances, the artist acts like a mediumistic being who, from the labyrinth beyond time and space, seeks his way out to a clearing.
Marcel Duchamp
The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
Marcel Duchamp
I was interested in ideas, not merely visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind.
Marcel Duchamp
What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.
Marcel Duchamp
The life of an artist is like the life of a monk, a lewd monk if you like, very Rabelaisian. It is an ordination.
Marcel Duchamp
All this twaddle, the existence of God, atheism, determinism, liberation, societies, death, etc., are pieces of a chess game called language, and they are amusing only if one does not preoccupy oneself with 'winning or losing this game of chess.
Marcel Duchamp
It's the viewer that makes the work.
Marcel Duchamp
My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn't, in general.
Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
Marcel Duchamp
