The painting that I chose for tonight is known as "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" by Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp was a very interesting artist that greatly fascinates me, which is why I decided to choose one of his works for tonight. This image has a very cubist style to it. It almost looks like a photograph with a long exposure, which I find to be very interesting. The lines work well together to create a nice sense of movement in the painting. It definitely looks like someone is walking down a flight of stairs.
