GUY VIAU. Marcel Duchamp, what power do you attribute to humor? MARCEL DUCHAMP. A great power; humor was a sort of savior so to speak because, before, art was such a serious thing, so pontifical that I was very happy when I discovered that I could introduce humor into it.

JEAN NEYENS: Marcel Duchamp, may I ask you where your first works came from, from what reflection upon art at that time or the world at that time? MARCEL DUCHAMP: It's very complicated and complex, because, fifty or forty years later, one gets a headache trying to remember how, for what reason, all these things were made and for the most part, whe

GUY VIAU:Marcel Duchamp, quel pouvoir attribuez-vous à l'humour ? MARCEL DUCHAMP: Un grand pouvoir: I'humour était une sorte de sauvetage pour ainsi dire, car jusque-là l'art était une chose tellement sérieuse, tellement pontificale que j'étais trés heureux quand j'ai découvert que je pouvais y introduire l'humour.

JEAN NEYENS:Marcel Duchamp, puis-je vous demander de quelle réflexion peut-être sur l'art d'alors ou sur le monde d'alors procédaient vos premières œuvres?
