Marcel Duchamp

 
Marcel Duchamp

19th-20th century French artist
(1887 - 1968)

From: Anne Goodyear <agoodyear@bowdoin.edu> Date: Sunday, May 5, 2019 at 2:47 PM To: "Laura J. Latman" <llatman@bowdoin.edu>, Suzanne Bergeron <sbergero@bowdoin.edu>, Michelle Henning <mhenning@bowdoin.edu> Subject: Marcel Duchamp's nationality Dear Suzanne, Laura, and Michelle: In working on my labels for “Emerging Modernism,” I realized that Duchamp is mistakenly listed in our database as “French.” He became an American citizen in 1954, so “American” would be better. – We could also consider “Franco-American.” – But we can’t accurately list him as “French”!
