The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even

This work of art is so complex and amazed me how much of a story Duchamp put into it. I do like the abstractness of the piece and how that juxtaposes how the piece has such a deep story. When I first saw the mechanical structure at the bottom of the piece I was confused and unsure of its meaning. After reading the notes that Duchamp wrote I started to understand the basics of his thought process but still found his ideas to be confusing. Marcel Duchamp has a great imagination to think of such a machine. When studying the top of the piece, I found the three squares and the shape surrounding them very interesting. The shapes and composition of the piece I like a lot and think work well as a complete work. It was only once I looked at the notes that I realized the sexuality of "The Bride". I find this to be interesting but not completely necessary.  Even though this work has so much personal meaning to Duchamp I think that people can enjoy it without know the back story. Overall I enjoy The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even. The composition flows and the colors work as great piece of abstract art.
