The Western round table on modern art 1949

Duchamp:

“You forget that the work of the artist is based in emotion and that the work of the critic is based on an intellectual translation.”

Duchamp:

“The collector––the real collector, the one I oppose to the commercial collectors who have made modern art a field comparable to a Wall Street affair . . . is, in my opinion, an artist––au carre. He selects paintings and puts them on his wall; in other words, ‘he paints himself a collection.'”
