My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
I consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
Marcel Duchamp

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
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
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
It's the viewer that makes the work.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
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
Image
All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.
