Brooklyn illustrator and MFA student Anne Emond says she spends "a lot of time thinking about Marcel Duchamp." Her musings about the artist's persistent fascination are delightful in their own right, but her claim that her own art is a "picture window" and so has nothing in common with Duchamp bears deeper investigation. Surely the readymade is all about the snow shovels, urinals, bicycle wheels ... and even the picture windows themselves?
