L.H.O.O.Q.,

no se sienten un poco dada hoy.

Marcel Duchamp, L.H.O.O.Q., 1919, rectified readymadre, pencil on a reproduction — a chromolithograph , 7 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches, private collection, Paris. As if the addition of mustache and beard weren't enough of a poke at this most famous of paintings, the letters Duchamp penciled — L.H.O.O.Q. — at the bottom of his altered image are meaningless in themselves, but when read aloud in French, make the sound of "Elle a chaud au cul," meaning, "She has a hot ass."
