Fountain - Marcel Duchamp, 1917

This image by Alfred Stiegltiz is the only known image of Duchamp’s original Fountain, which disappeared when it was rejected for exhibition. Duchamp (being Duchamp) created several other versions by buying urinals and signing them “R. Mutt 1917.”

L.H.O.O.Q. - Marcel Duchamp, 1919. Pencil on reproduction of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa.

L.H.O.O.Q., a cheap postcard-sized reproduction of the Mona Lisa,upon which Duchamp drew a mustache and a goatee. The “readymade” done in 1919, is one of the most well known act of degrading a famous work of art. The title when pronounced in French, puns the frase “Elle a chaud au cul”, translating colloquially in “She has a hot ass”.

Things to think about when studying:

• Why was this work so controversial?
• What movement is Duchamp associated with?
• Is this “art?”
