More quotes by 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
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 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
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
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp
It's the viewer that makes the work.
Marcel Duchamp
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
Marcel Duchamp
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
Marcel Duchamp
I thought to discourage aesthetics... I threw the bottlerack and the urinal in their faces and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty.
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
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
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
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
