A minimalist self-portrait by Marcel Duchamp, featuring a stark silhouette in profile against a contrasting ochre background.
Marcel Duchamp created this work in 1958, utilising a torn paper technique to define his own likeness. The composition relies on a stark contrast between a deep black void and a rectangular field of ochre paper. The silhouette of the artist, captured in profile, emerges from the left side of the frame, encroaching upon the lighter space. This reduction of the human form to a simple outline reflects the artist's interest in conceptual art and the questioning of traditional portraiture. The work is minimal in its execution. By removing detail, Duchamp forces the viewer to focus on the shape of the profile itself. The torn edge of the paper provides a tactile quality, contrasting with the flat, solid black background. This piece is a clear example of the artist's tendency to strip away unnecessary elements to reach a core idea. It is not a representation of physical features, but rather a signifier of the artist's presence. The signature, placed at the bottom right, confirms the identity of the subject while maintaining the detached, intellectual tone characteristic of his later output. This print captures the precise balance of the original collage, preserving the texture of the paper and the depth of the black ink.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Put a urinal in a gallery, retired from art to play chess, and spent twenty years secretly building an installation nobody knew about.
