There May Or May Not Be An

Marcel Duchamp, One Of This Century's Pioneers, Moved His Work Through The Retinal Boundaries Which Had Been Established With Impressionism Into A Field Where Language, Thought And Vision Act Upon One Another. There It Changed Form Through A Complex Interplay Of New Mental And Physical Materials, Heralding Many Of The Technical, Mental And Visual Details To Be Found In More Recent Art... He Declared That He Wanted To Kill Art ("for Myself") But His Persistent Attempts To Destroy Frames Of Reference Altered Our Thinking, Established New Units Of Thought, A "new Thought For That Object."

Most Of The Power Of Painting Comes Through The Manipulation Of Space... But I Don't Understand That.

A Picture Ought To Be Looked At The Same Way You Look At A Radiator.

Generally, I Am Opposed To Painting Which Is Concerned With Conceptions Of Simplicity. Everything Looks Busy To Me.

Merce Is My Favorite Artist In Any Field.
