Marcel Duchamp to Jean Crotti, 1918 July 8
Marcel Duchamp, Letter to Jean Crotti, July 8, 1918. Jean Crotti papers, 1910–1973. Gift of Alice Buckler-Brown.
Of all the champions of the avant-garde in the first half of the 20th century, no one is more famous than Duchamp (1887–1968). This letter is part of a group written to his sister, Suzanne, and to Jean Crotti, with whom Duchamp had shared a New York studio, and who later became Suzanne’s husband. These letters reveal insights into the private world of this idiosyncratic and complex artist. In them, he discusses much of his art from the 1910s and 20s, when he was producing some of his most important work.
