THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1968 3 Elsewhere Marcel Duchamp, Famed Artist, Innovator, Dies at 81 By PHIL CASEY Los Angeles Times- Washington Post Service Marcel Duchamp, one of the century's most famous painters, the man who dared to put a moustache on the Mona Lisa, died Tuesday night in Paris. He was 81. Duchamp, a playful, thoughtful, iconoclastic man who seemed unimpressed by either fame or money, gave up painting for chess and other things before he was 40. Yet his fame increased.

And when the slender, genial, grayeyed Frenchman got so good at chess that he was eligible for championship games, he quit playing in public and played a private, complicated game in which only illegal moves were permitted. Painting Nearly Caused Riot A restless, curious man, Duchamp was one of the great innovators. He was a leader in Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism and Futurism. When he gave up painting, he turned to what he called his "readymades," and was probably the granddad of pop art. He used gunny sacks, coat hangers and bottle racks for his artistic creations.

A famous "readymade," put together in 1921, was composed of a bird cage containing marble squares, a canceled postage stamp, a thermometer and some parrot food. His famous "Nude Descending a Staircase" nearly caused a riot when it was exhibited at the New York Armory in 1913. Art lovers weren't ready for it and wanted lynch it. It sold for $300 and "to not many years later was valued at more than $50,000. He painted copy of Leonardo di Vinci's Mona Lisa.

She had the same great smile, but also a moustache and beard. Left Art in His 30s He lived most of the time in New York City, frugally and apparently happily, playing chess, putting together his "readymades" and doing an occasional sculpture. His work received far more attention in this country than in his native France. His total production was said to be only 35 paintings, most of them in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Duchamp was famous by his early 20s and he quit the work that brought him fame in his late 30s.

The titles of his paintings were as provocative as the experimental works themselves. They included: "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors," "Chocolate Grinder," "Sad Young Man on a Train" and "The and Queen Surrounded by Swift Nudes." Other deaths: The Rev. Romano Guardini, 83, Roman Catholic religious philosopher, in Munich, Germany.
