Nationality: French - Became a U.S citizen in 1955
Associated With: Dadaist and Surrealist movements
Well known for: A piece entitled "Fountain" which was actually a urinal.
My favourite piece:
This would have to be "Nude descending a staircase No.2". Although this piece looks cubist and therfor is quite abstract I think you can see the movement of the model coming down the staircase towards Duchamp. I also like how this piece could be a new take on the art tradition of life drawing or painting. I think this is something I would like to try during the next two years, if life drawing is an option.
