L.H.O.O.Q. - Marcel Duchamp, 1919. Pencil on reproduction of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa.

L.H.O.O.Q., a cheap postcard-sized reproduction of the Mona Lisa,upon which Duchamp drew a mustache and a goatee. The “readymade” done in 1919, is one of the most well known act of degrading a famous work of art. The title when pronounced in French, puns the frase “Elle a chaud au cul”, translating colloquially in “She has a hot ass”.

Things to think about when studying:

  • Why was this work so controversial?
  • What movement is Duchamp associated with?
  • Is this “art?”

Ahh Duchamp, my love
