FLASHBACK FRIDAY!  every Friday we take a break from contemporary art to bring you some queer art from the past. 

this week’s installment: Rrose Sélavy, the female alter-ego of Marcel Duchamp.  For fun we’re also going to include some parodies of Rrose over the past fifty years.  

above - Rrose Sélavy, photographed by Man Ray in 1921.

“Rrose Sélavy, the feminine alter ego created by Marcel Duchamp, is one of the most complex and pervasive pieces in the enigmatic puzzle of the artist’s oeuvre. She first emerged in portraits made by the photographer Man Ray in New York in the early 1920s, when Duchamp and Man Ray were collaborating on a number of conceptual photographic works. Rrose Sélavy lived on as the person to whom Duchamp attributed specific works of art, Readymades, puns, and writings throughout his career. By creating for himself this female persona whose attributes are beauty and eroticism, he deliberately and characteristically complicated the understanding of his ideas and motives.” - PMA
