Duchamp-Villon

There are photographic portraits by Irving Penn and Man Ray, and depictions by all three of Duchamp’s artist siblings: Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Jacques Villon and Suzanne Duchamp.

Duchamp’s piece is on display at the Modern Wing gallery across from the 1914 sculpture Horse by his brother Raymond Duchamp-Villon.

Over the years he gave tens of millions of dollars to the museum, in addition to works like Paul Klee’s “Small Landscape with Garden Door” and Raymond Duchamp-Villon’s “Le Cheval Majeur.”

His brother, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, who fought in World War I and died in 1918, was a sculptor, and he, too, combined new and old modes.

Paintings by Duchamp, Picabia, Delaunay and others jockey for position on tomato-colored walls, with an equally crowded field of sculpture by Duchamp’s brothers, Jacques Villon and Raymond Duchamp-Villon.
