More quotes by 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
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
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
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
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 consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
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
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
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
All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.
Marcel Duchamp
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
Marcel Duchamp
I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.
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
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
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
To all appearances, the artist acts like a mediumistic being who, from the labyrinth beyond time and space, seeks his way out to a clearing.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
Marcel Duchamp
In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society
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
