Comment on "Bride"

The work of Duchamp, "The Bride" is very interesting in its own way. At first glance, it just appears as weird and random shapes that all differ from each other in many ways. One panel of glass appears very spacious, because of the abundance of negative space. The opposing glass appears very crowded and in turn acts as an opposing reflection of the first glass and vice versa. Some parts appear machine like, but there are also shapes in the composition seem more organic or out of place. After, seeing a digital animated version (a manifestation created from Duchamp's notes), the art appears as a giant flowing machine that is similar to the union of woman & man and reproduction. The machine ingenuously flows smoothly as one and perhaps reveals the artist’s genius intentions and the massive amount of depth he put into his work.
