More quotes by 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
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
Marcel Duchamp
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
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
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
Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.
Marcel Duchamp
The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
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 was poking fun at myself most of all.
Marcel Duchamp
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
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
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
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 believe that the artist doesn't know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the artist.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn't, in general.
Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp
My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
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 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
