Marcel Duchamp
Image
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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

The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
Marcel Duchamp
