Title: Nude Descending a Staircase
By: Marcel Duchamp
Country: France
Time: 1912
My First Impressions: This looks like a painting of some sort of a robot walking down some invisible stairs. The figure seems metallic and lifeless. It looks like the golden figure is moving so fast that it is seen multiple times. The painting seems to be cubism.
What I have Learned: I have learned that Marcel made this painting from a picture of a naked woman descending a staircase. He made it with cubism, the title was so provacative that there were demands for him to either change the title or not submit it to a galery.
