"The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even"


When I first looked at Duchamp’s “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even”, I immediately felt confused about those irrelevant object on the painting.

Everything connects to each other as a sequent motion. In order to see bride and bachelor, we have to analyze the notes deeply with the space and theme deeply.

The composition's most dominating feature of physic and dimension. It is an unique and thoughtful piece.
