| Sad Young Man in a Train |
 |
"This painting, which Marcel Duchamp identified as a self-portrait, was
probably begun during December of 1911 in Neuilly, while
he was exploring ideas for the controversial Nude
Descending a Staircase, No. 2 of 1912 (Collection
Philadelphia Museum of Art). In Nude (Study), Sad
Young Man on a Train his transitory though acute
interest in Cubism is manifested in the subdued palette, emphasis on the
flat surface of the picture plane, and in the
subordination of representational fidelity to the
demands of the abstract composition."
