Marcel Duchamp

I don't believe in the word 'art.'

I was never interested in painting for its own sake, but rather in the ideas that could be expressed through painting.

I don't believe in progress in art.

I have always tried to avoid any kind of 'ism.'

I don't believe in the aesthetic pleasure of art.

I am not a chess player, I am a chess addict.

I have always been interested in the idea of the artist as a medium.

I have always been interested in the idea of the art school.
