More quotes by 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
In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society
Marcel Duchamp
If a shadow is a two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional world, then the three-dimensional world as we know it is the projection of the four-dimensional Universe.
Marcel Duchamp
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
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
I was interested in ideas, not merely visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind.
Marcel Duchamp
Since the tubes of paint used by the artist are manufactured and ready made products we must conclude that all the paintings in the world are 'readymades aided' and also works of assemblage.
Marcel Duchamp
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
Marcel Duchamp
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.
Marcel Duchamp
I like living, breathing better than working...my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral, it's a sort of constant euphoria.
Marcel Duchamp
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp
The curious thing about that moustache and goatee is that when you look at the Mona Lisa it becomes a man. It is not a woman disguised as a man it is a real man, and that was my discovery, without realising it at the time.
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
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
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
Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.
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
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
