Marcel Duchamp Quotes

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.

The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.

The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.
