Plate size: 49.8 x 31.1 cm - Work size: 65.7 X 50.1 cm - Catálogue: Schawartz 433; Ginestet & Pouillon E 672 // La Mariée (The Bride) by Marcel Duchamp, an aquatint created in 1934, exemplifies the artist's exploration of abstract and mechanistic forms. This limited edition print, measuring 65.7 x 50.1 cm, is part of Duchamp's iconic work series that investigates the intersection between human and machine. The composition features a complex arrangement of organic and geometric shapes that intertwine, creating a sense of fragmented motion and ambiguity. The subdued palette of greens, browns, and ochres enhances the mechanical and enigmatic quality of the figure. Duchamp’s work challenges traditional representations, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of desire, movement, and transformation.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
