Abstract

The article discusses the views of French artist Marcel Duchamp on works of art. Duchamp discovered that all works of art conform to five types of sentence structure, which are simple sentences, compound complex and ambiguous sentences, ready-made utterances, elliptical sentences and sentences with some disagreement between subject and predicate. He discovered that these sentence structures have a particular diachronic relationship to each other.
