Descrição: The mathematical and philosophical writings of Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) were among the major influences on the development of Marcel Duchamp's art and thought. Through Poincaré, Duchamp learned the basic principles of at least three major branches of modern geometry: n-dimensional geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and topology. So important were these geometries to Duchamp that he incorporated numerous references to them in the iconography of his major works: the Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (the Large Glass), 1915-23 (Fig. 1), Tu m', 1918 (Fig. 2), the ready-mades, and the satellite works associated with them. For Duchamp, Poincaré's philosophical discussions of the conventional nature of geometry were a way of reinforcing his own speculations about the provisional nature of aesthetics.
