    • Viau, Guy (translated by Kilborne, Sarah Skinner)    01/01/02

    GUY VIAU. Marcel Duchamp, what power do you attribute to humor? MARCEL DUCHAMP. A great power; humor was a sort of savior so to speak because, before, art was such a serious thing, so pontifical that I was very happy when I discovered that I could introduce humor into it. And that was truly a period of discovery. The discovery of humor was a libera
