More quotes by Marcel Duchamp
It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.
Marcel Duchamp
While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
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
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
The Chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem
Marcel Duchamp
My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
Marcel Duchamp
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
I was poking fun at myself most of all.
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
It is the spectators who make the pictures.
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
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
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
It's the viewer that makes the work.
Marcel Duchamp
Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society
Marcel Duchamp
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
I consider painting as a means of expression, not as a goal.
Marcel Duchamp
