Nude Descending a Staircase, Number 2,1912, by Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968).
Duchamp’s shattered and reassembled nude figure descending the staircase in robotic
rhythm purposely challenges the viewer to derive a personal interpretation of the image—
to move beyond the natural standpoint with its judgments concerning spacio-temporal
existence. (© SuccessJPO Marcel Duchamp/ADAGP, Paris and DACS, London
