Scruto la tua fronte
come un pilota il pannello degli strumenti
quando vola nella tempesta.
Ti ho incontrata così tardi
e così all’improvviso.

Marcel Duchamp | Dadaist / Surrealist Conceptual painter
Born in Blainville, Normandy, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was the son of a notary and the younger brother of the painter Jacques Villon and the Cubist sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon.
He studied at the Académie Julian in 1904-5. His early figure paintings were influenced by Matisse and Fauvism, but in 1911 he created a personal brand of Cubism combining earthy colours, mechanical and visceral forms, and a depiction of movement which owes as much to Futurism as to Cubism.
His Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2, 1912 (Philadelphia Museum of Art), created a sensation at the 1913 New York Armory Show.
Duchamp did very little painting after 1912, creating the first of his 'readymades' in 1913. These were ordinary objects of everyday use, sometimes slightly altered, and designated works of art by the artist.
His earliest readymades included Bicycle Wheel (1913), a wheel mounted on a wooden stool, and a snow shovel entitled In Advance of the Broken Arm (1915).

Domandate che sanno fare ancora le donne?
Ma tutto!
Se qualcuno distende sopra un abisso
tre fili di paglia,
vi passano sopra con piede leggero.
Come, non so spiegare,
ma ricordate
che i loro piedi hanno inventato la danza.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe | Mentre andavo / Im Vorübergehn
Andavo per i campi
così, per conto mio,
e non cercare niente
era quello che volevo.
