With The Large Glass , he sought to make an artwork that could be both visually experienced and "read" as a text. After attending a performance of Roussel's Impressions d'Afrique , Duchamp envisioned a sculptural assemblage as a stage of sorts. Preliminary studies for this stage, which would have been over nine feet tall, included depictions of an abstracted "bride" being attacked by machine-like figures in chaotic motion. The constructed gadgetry featured between the two glass panels was also likely inspired by Duchamp's study of mathematician Henri Poincare's physics theorems.

If he marries, has children, he very soon becomes a victim. He must earn money to feed his family…. An artist must be an egoist. He must be completely blind to other human beings—egocentric in the grand manner…. The life of an artist is like the life of a monk, a lewd monk if you like, very Rabelaisian. It is an ordination. I am old. My works are my portrait. They are my children…. I have known fame. I love to sing. If one could create as one breathes. That would be true happiness. One should arrive at that.

He had attached them in three neat rows to two thin wooden or metal supports. The assemblage was laid on top of two stacks of books and positioned over a large piece of white paper or board set on a wooden and wicker bench near the balustrade of the terrace. As the sunlight poured through the hollowed-out stencils at an angle, it fell upon the paper, and the various letters appeared in perspective. Duchamp slightly rearranged the installation as the sun moved across the sky, and Brancusi photographed each resulting image. I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists. Even if Brancusi did not play chess, two of his late sculptures appear to allude to the game. Portrait of Mrs. Eugene Meyer Jr. More of a totemic presence than a likeness, this black-marble colossus stands over two meters high and displays a slanted feature at the apex of its head, suggesting a tiara or crown, the iconic headgear of a female monarch. With its equally commanding height of three meters, Le Roi des rois King of Kings ca. After the architectural project was abandoned, Brancusi retitled the sculpture King of Kings. With a prominent crown adorning his ovoid head, this mighty sovereign evokes the figure of the king in chess, the most important and coveted piece in the game.

Start your review of Dialogues With Marcel Duchamp. Marcel Duchamp never read Proust. He did not get to know Malraux. However, its concept of cinema as an artistic expression, I consider it, from the point of view, very interesting. Their eschatological view of death seemed to be a bit vague, in fact, like all opinions about spiritual salvation. He speaks of theatre, which is a hypothesis to explore, as indeed others of his interest. There is a theme to explore in this book, firstly, and in particul Marcel Duchamp never read Proust. There is a theme to explore in this book, firstly, and in particular: The phenomenon "Dada" never interested me deeply. I consider the art of no interest. However, some artistic terms are of extreme importance. Like the ones, I mentioned earlier. View 2 comments. Apr 10, Onsetsu Evan Cordes rated it it was amazing Shelves: own. Don't read this. Sep 10, Tosh rated it it was amazing. Duchamp is the greatest artist in the 20th Century. And this book is a fascinating conversation between the artist and Pierre Cabanne about his work and his aesthetic. Very much an essential read with respect to 20th Century art practices. Dialogues With Marcel Duchamp by Pierre Cabanne They are signed and numbered, in an edition of eight each, like any sculpture. You should never have one more, even if you could find them in the shops. Yes, in fact I had to, because otherwise where would I be? Do you ever see or engage in these events or feel any fellow feelings about them? In other words, the public comes to a happening not to be amused but to be bored. When you set out to challenge all the established values, your means were shock. You shocked the Cubists, you shocked the public, you shocked the buying public. Do you think the public can be shocked anymore by anything? You cannot shock the public, at least with the same means. And I have been there, and I go there every time.
