Marcel Duchamp. Dulcinea. 1911. Oil on canvas
Here are a couple of Duchamp's artworks that I found to be most interesting and pleasing for me.
Also a little about Duchamp that I found interesting:
"In 1913, Duchamp shocked the cultural establishment when he turned everyday objects into works of art simply by adding his signature."
"1917 - 'That man was painting from his heart,'' Marcel Duchamp said when he saw a very different Eilshemius piece in the exhibition of the Society of Independence in New York in 1917. The work was ''Rose-Marie Calling (Supplication).'' It shows a pink and portly naked young woman who sits bolt upright on a sofa, waving to someone we don't see. As always, Eilshemius was doing his own thing, no matter what anyone thought of it, and Duchamp recognized in him a kindred spirit."
