Brother of the artist Raymond Duchamp-Villon andhalf brother of the painter Jacques Villon, Duchamp began to paint in1908. In 1912, he painted the definitive version of Nude Descending aStaircase, this was shown at the Salon de la Section d'Or of that same year and subsequently created great controversy at the Armory Show in New York in 1913. On this time, he had abandoned traditional painting and drawing for various experimental forms, including mechanicaldrawings, studies, and notations that would be incorporated in a major work, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1915-1923, also known as The Large Glass). In 1914, Duchamp introduced hisreadymades--common objects, sometimes altered, presented as works ofart--which had a revolutionary impact upon many painters andsculptors.This book--edited by Gloria Moure--deals with his many-facetedactivities and the radical positions he maintained vis-à,-vis his contemporaries.
