L.H.O.O.Q. by Marcel Duchamp is a postcard-sized
reproduction of the famous Mona Lisa, but with a mustache drawn and goatee. This
was Duchamp clever way of outsmarting art. Duchamp was artists that consider
every move like a chess game. He was always thinking of the next move to make.
This type of art is called “readymade” is when the artist takes an ordinary
manufactured object and modifies it, by adding, changing them, or simply
renaming them and placing them in a gallery setting.
Other ready-made works:
Fountain, 1917
Bicycle Wheel, 1917
Bottle Rack, 1917
