More quotes by Marcel Duchamp
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
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
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
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp
It is the spectators who make the pictures.
Marcel Duchamp
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp

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
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
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 feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.
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
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
The most interesting thing about artists is how they live
Marcel Duchamp
