More quotes by Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That's all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
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
It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.
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
The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
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
All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.
Marcel Duchamp

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
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
Marcel Duchamp
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.
Marcel Duchamp
As soon as we start putting our thoughts into words and sentences everything gets distorted, language is just no damn good—I use it because I have to, but I don’t put any trust in it. We never understand each other.
Marcel Duchamp
Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.
Marcel Duchamp
While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
Marcel Duchamp
In the last analysis, the artist may shout from all the rooftops that he is a genius he will have to wait for the verdict of posterity.
Marcel Duchamp
It is the spectators who make the pictures.
Marcel Duchamp
Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
