OCTAVIO PAZ
from APARENCIA DESNUDA, La obra de Marcel Duchamp:
"El artista no es un hacedor: sus obras no son hechos sino actos." (The artist is not a maker: his works are not products but acts.)
-"todas las cosas manipuladas por el hombre tienen la fatal tendencia a emitir sentido." (-all things manipulated by humans have the fatal tendency to emit meaning.)
-"el fin de la actividad artistica no es la obra sino la libertad. La obra es el camino y nada más." (-the goal of artistic activity is not the Work itself but liberty. The Work is the road and nothing else.)
