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.

Image
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn't, in general.
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.

The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
Marcel Duchamp
Image
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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
Image
I consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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
Image
All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.
Marcel Duchamp
