Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp (July 28, 1887 – October 2, 1968) was an influential French/American artist. He was arguably the most important influence on the development of post-war art in Europe and North America, in particular Pop Art and Conceptual Art.

The Large Glass

In 1923 he concluded work on his The Bride Stipped Bare by her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), a piece he began in 1913. The work is documented with his numerous notes and studies, as well as preliminary works for the piece. The notes reflect the creation of unique rules of physics, and myth which descibe The Large Glass.
