Description
Marcel Duchamp's "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" (also known as "The Large Glass") is a Dada masterpiece on two glass panels, exploring themes of desire and the disconnect between the sexes.
Marcel Duchamp's "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even", also known as "The Large Glass", is a complex and enigmatic work created between 1915 and 1923. It is considered a central piece in the Dada movement. The work consists of two glass panels, one placed above the other, with various abstract and mechanical-looking forms rendered in oil, varnish, lead foil, lead wire, and dust. The accidental cracking of the glass during transport has become an integral part of the artwork's history and appearance. The upper panel represents the Bride, an ethereal and somewhat mechanical figure, while the lower panel depicts the Bachelors, a collection of machine-like forms engaged in a mysterious process. Duchamp's piece explores themes of desire, frustration, and the disconnect between the sexes. The transparent nature of the glass allows viewers to see through the artwork, incorporating the surrounding environment into the piece and blurring the lines between the artwork and reality. The work challenges traditional notions of art and representation, inviting viewers to contemplate its meaning and purpose.

Artist Biography
Marcel Duchamp
Duchamp put a urinal on a plinth, signed it 'R. Mutt', and submitted it to an exhibition in 1917. The exhibition committee, which Duchamp was a member of, rejected it. He resigned in protest. The urinal, titled Fountain, is now considered one of the most important artworks of the twentieth century. The original was thrown away. Several replicas exist in major museums.
He was born near Rouen in Normandy, the brother of the sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon and the painter Jacques Villon. The family produced three significant artists, which is unusual. Marcel was the youngest and the most destructive.
His early career moved through Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism in rapid succession. Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 (1912), a Cubist-Futurist painting of fragmented motion, caused a scandal at the New York Armory Show in 1913. One critic called it 'an explosion in a shingle factory'. The painting made Duchamp famous in America before he had set foot there.
He moved to New York in 1915. His contribution to art from this point was largely conceptual. The 'readymades', ordinary manufactured objects designated as art by the artist's choice (a bottle rack, a snow shovel, the urinal), dismantled the idea that art required skill, craft, or even making. The artist's decision was sufficient.
He spent twenty years officially retired from art, playing chess at a competitive level. In secret, he was building Etant Donnes, an installation visible only through two peepholes in a door. It was revealed after his death in 1968 and is permanently installed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He had been working on it for twenty years while telling everyone he had stopped making art.
