On Nudity Across Time
This photograph from
a fantastic set of photographs by Japanese photographer Shinichi Maruyama
reminded me of (and was apparently inspired by)
Duchamp's
(
1912
) famous painting
Nude Descending A Staircase, #2
, which is, like so many of Duchamp's greatest works, now in the
Arensburg
Collection at
the Philadelphia Museum of Art
. This photo was created exactly 100 years after Duchamp's painting, and has almost the same name:
Nude #2
.
