More quotes by Marcel Duchamp
I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.
Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp

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
It is the spectators who make the pictures.
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
Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
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
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
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
My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
Marcel Duchamp
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
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 consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
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.
