At sixteen he went to Paris to study art. From 1905-1910 he contributed cartoons to French papers.

	His early paintings reflect an interest in movement, forecasting the themes of Italian ''Futurist'' work; his paintings received wide acclaim in the US. After a while he abandoned painting for three-dimensional art and offered everyday objects as "~~readymade~~". In 1915, during World War I, he moved to New York and spent several years working on ''Large Glass'', a monumental piece, which was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum in 1926. Meanwhile he became the modern master of the provocative. With self-confidence, he submitted a urinal titled ''Fountain'' to the 1917 exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, whose vice president he was. The exhibition organizers refused to accept it, so Duchamp resigned. Similarly, in a DADA exhibition in Paris in 1920 he submitted a reproduction of Leonardo's ''Mona Lisa'' to which he added a moustache and a goatee; its official title was ''L.H.O.O.Q.'' (Elle a chaud au cul), which is loosely translated as "she has a hot arse".
