"Nude Descending a Staircase" was never named "Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelor's, even." In fact he painted the title, "Nu Descendant un Escalier", on the painting. (The World of Marcel Duchamp. Calvin Tompkins. Time-Life Books. 1966. p. 15.) --sparkit 18:33, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Marcel Duchamp: "Although it would have been very pleasant if she had been as rich as I first thought, I married her because she was indifferent to art. I now claim the marriage as an art work, a Happening, a Performance, very much ahead of its time. After all my masterpiece is called The Bride Stripped Bare by Bachelors, Even. My first marriage extended that theme." in conversation with John Perreault [1] Sparkit may want to reconsider restoring an improved version of the text he removed. The full story belongs at Marcel Duchamp surely. --Wetman 20:43, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- The quote from "The World of Marcel Duchamp" is
-
-
- "He entitled it "Nu Descendant un Escalier" (Nude Descending a Staircase) -- painting the title on the lower part of the canvas so that the words could function both visually and menatally as part of the composition."
-
-
- He started developing ideas for "The Bride Stripped Bare by Bachelors, Even." during that time frame with "The Passage of the Virgin to The Bride", but the "The Bride Stipped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" didn't emerge until "The Large Glass" (another name for "The Bride Stripped Bare by Bachelors, Even") several years later.
-
- Indeed this belongs in the Duchamp article, which also has NO mention of "The Bride Stripped Bare by Bachelors, Even"

- I suspect the above referenced interview (http://www.plexus.org/review/perreault/dada.html) is a fictional interview. The interviewer says, "... I have been reading about that in Calvin Tomkins' biography of you." Tomkins biography of Duchamp was published in 1996, 28 years after Duchamp's death. -- || >>sparkit<< TALK || 01:19, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

- According to http://www.artifact.ac.uk/displayoai.php?id=1844, it is indeed a mock interview. "Description: Reproduced on the Plexus web site, this is a transcript of a mock interview between the French painter, sculptor and theorist, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and John Perreault, which was published in Review magazine in December 1996. Written 28 years after Duchamp's death to coincide with a related exhibition entitled 'Making mischief : Dada invades New York' at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the article discusses some of his art works, his life and his contribution to the art world." -- || >>sparkit<< TALK || 02:25, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
