The crucial critical study on the work of Marcel Duchamp by Octavio Paz, the Mexican poet and diplomat who won the Nobel Prize in 1990. Includes one colour plate of the Large Glass (the focus of the study), and a great die-cut page of Duchamp’s famous self-portrait. This is the first edition published in English by Cape Goliard Press in London, 1970
